Beef Brisket with Bourbon-Peach Glaze, Kentucky Hot Brown Casserole, and Roasted Asparagus: Ann & Jason
After several games of horse shoes, and several Mint Juleps, it was time to get dinner going.
Ann & Jason had prepared the brisket ahead of time, making dinner as simple as pulling it out of the fridge and heating it in the oven.
Unfortunately, the number of Mint Juleps consumed may have caused Ann to spill the delicious brisket juice all over herself! (I also have to say that the lid may not have been tightly secured on the container.....).
Nonetheless, the dinner turned out exactly as planned!
The brisket was served alongside a Kentucky Hot Brown casserole and asparagus from the Tucson Heirloom Farmer's Market. The Kentucky Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. In this casserole version, the same ingredients are taken, layered, and baked, to create a sizzling combination of pure comfort.
And because I worked on my table setting for at least two weeks before our event, here are some pictures of that as well :)
