    I have to agree with a little bit of every body's feedback. I think it was certainly costly. I decided not to go with the gruyere and added just more chedder. Nobody mentioned how salty this dish is! Wheww! I needed many glasses of water after eating this. Ohhh and don't go overboard with making your own breadcrumbs. Store bought works just fine! Lastly, I didn't broil the dish I simply baked it for 20min.

    I added in some spicy brown mustard and it made the flavors pop! After everything was dished up I then added a teaspoon of thousand dressing and it was perfect. As a college student this was easy, cheap ingredients and lasted a few days. Perfect! I recommend to anyone who loves a rueben
