This is called a sandwich but is served open faced and to me does not even resemble a sandwich....it is the best! Hot Brown Recipe - Turkey Sandwich with Cheese Sauce A Kentucky tradition. Hot brown sandwiches with turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, and sliced tomato and other ingredients. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups milk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 pound cooked turkey, thinly sliced 8 slices toast, crusts trimmed 4 slices tomato 8 strips bacon, cooked 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese PREPARATION: Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low; add flour and stir until smooth and bubbly. Add milk, salt, Worcestershire sauce, cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Cut toast in half diagonally and place on a baking sheet (or use individual baking dishes). Arrange turkey slices on the toast and cover with hot cheese sauce. Top with tomato slices and bacon strips then sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over each sandwich. Place under broiler until hot and bubbly and lightly browned. Hot brown sandwich serves 4.

Answer 3

Doing even the same ham and cheese but on a tortilla will add diversity to his lunch. You can also do shredded chicken, shredded cheese, salsa and sour cream on a tortilla for a fajita. Tortilla wraps give you a variety of things to do - or just do the same as a sandwich, but on the wrap!

Answer 4

Well there is tuna sandwiches and egg ones. You can also try giving him leftovers from last nights dinner. You can also go on a recipe website and get ideas from there.

Answer 5

BLT sandwiches. Keep the veggies separate and the bread and bacon separate in little baggies and it's ready to go. Or you can buy that Devil's ham or chicken spread and he can assemble it at work. PB & Jelly is always good. Turkey slices or Lunchables. I know they are for kids but I love them. Hope this helps.

Mine has a little cooler also. I make sand. from left over chicken, turkey,meatloaf. My hubby also take those campbell cups. He has a microwave at work. Add a little lettuce to his sandwiches. Makes it a little different. Good Luck

Answer 8

Add cooked bacon to a peanut butter and strawberry preserves sandwich on toasted bread and sprinkle with some poppy seeds on it (white bread is ok... but sourdough is fantastic!).

Answer 10

hmmm tuna sandwiches with veggies.... very tasty!

You can also make him some sort of rice salad.... I do mine with tuna, onions, green and other coloured peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables that your husband might like.... you can add olive oil, cheese or some mayo.

It won't take much to prepare....

hope that helped :)
