Taking inspiration from my friend Ellen Eber’s post of a recipe on Facebook, I put together a Kentucky Bake yesterday after work. Once all the ingredients are assembled, it’s pretty simple. Turn the oven on to 350, lay the ingredients in layers, cook for 20 minutes under foil, another 25 without the foil and voila!

Some changes –  I used half the turkey the recipe calls for, swapped out Swiss cheese in favor of provolone, and used diced canned tomato instead of fresh sliced.

There were bloopers – the first four slices of bacon were a wee bit too “extra crispy”. I’m not into carbonized bacon. Lack of shelf space to work with made managing the dough a bit tricky. I suggest rolling it out flat where you can, then pick out the parts you need.

Came out perfect on the first try. Don’t take my word for it, ask Ashley!
