Very good recipe. I followed recipe except I used mozzarella instead of swiss. Kids loved it.

I've been wanting to make this ever since I got the magazine in the mail a couple of years ago... Finally got around to trying it, and I sure am glad I did!! A little involved, but totally worth it! Delicious!!!

This recipe is FANTASTIC and will regularly be in my rotation.... I found it first in the Cuisine at home mag a friend gave me .... YUMMY!!! My son LOVED the taste of the bread in the juice - i followed the recipe for the cheese toast in the cuisine magazine that came w/this recipe instead of buying frozen - VERY good!!!! I also didn't have the low sodium broth on hand - used regular but it was not overly salty to me at all.. I did use only 1/2 tsp of kosher salt in broth just in case. I would prob put more flavoring into the ground meat to my liking - otherwise the sauce is the BOMB served this also with mashed potatoes and the gravy soaked into those and enhanced those as well - VERY VERY flavorful! used merlot for the wine!
