WOW! What a sandwich. Loved, loved, loved the sauce. I did not expect this to be so good. I would give this an 8 star rating if I could. I used thin sliced whole wheat bread that I keep in the freezer because I don't use bread a lot. Purchased the meat and cheese especially for this sandwich, except I made a mistake and ordered provolone instead of swiss. I used a dill pickle relish that I already had and put a thin layer on the sandwich. Next time I will make with the swiss cheese. gailanng, thanks so much for posting
