My delicious spin on a Ham and Cheese casserole I found in the Joy of Cooking. I use Swiss cheese instead of Gruyere because that is normally what I have around. I could honestly eat this whole tray if given the opportunity. Read more ... See less

Delicious! I used sliced grain bread as I couldn't find an Italian or French loaf. I made a mistake and put the sliced onion in the cheese sauce instead of layering it on the sandwich! But it turned out great. I absolutely loved the brown spicy cheese sauce! The whole family loved it!
