Kentucky Hot Brown Crescent Bake

I can't claim to have a love for a Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich...in fact, I have never had one. However, I know what it is/what's in it. And, it has always sounded good to me.

So, when this popped up in my Pinterest feed (from Eat At Home), I decided to give it a try.

Given my lack of history, I can't say that I know for sure that this tastes like a Kentucky Hot Brown...but it sure was good. It's basically a trumped-up turkey sandwich with crescent roll crusts.

I could have SWORN that I had a package of Swiss cheese in my fridge...but, alas, I did not. So, I just sprinkled a layer of shredded Cheddar where the slices would have/should have gone. 

I particularly liked the tomato slices...they gave it a nice "bite." They gave the dish a fresh taste and added a little tang. It cuts easily into squares (I did nine) and re-heats nicely.
