These hot brown sliders are perfect for Kentucky Derby parties, although I serve them at our parties throughout the year. A traditional hot brown is an open-faced sandwich, which isn’t great for parties, but turning them into sliders makes them finger food-friendly. I like to cover and refrigerate my assembled sandwiches so I can just pop them in the oven when company arrives. — Blair Lonergan, Rochelle, Virginia
