Two Types Of Cheese

I like to use a combination of Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese for this recipe. The casserole tastes best with a thick layer of cheese on top, but Swiss cheese can be a little overpowering in large quantities. If you love the flavor of Swiss cheese, you can use all Swiss cheese.

Make It Low Carb

Leave out the Rye bread and use a low carb dressing to make this casserole low carb.
