This got mixed reviews at our house. Hubby didn't like it at all and everyone else thought it was OK. I followed the recipe exactly as written.

I made this for dinner tonight. It was ok. DH asked for more gravy and more cheese. I added more garlic salt for additional flavor.

I made this on 8/27/08 for mine and my SO's dinner.Since there was only two of us, the recipe was adjusted accordingly. I did have to make a couple of substitutions, since I didn't have exactly what was called for.Breaded chicken fillets were used instead of the patties and, for the cheese, havarti was used instead of swiss.This was really a very quick and easy recipe that had a very pleasing taste and will be made again. Thank you for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"

I can't believe I'm giving this 5 stars. I was just looking for some quick "comfort food" and tripped over this recipe. Only addition I made was to caramelize one large sweet onion in the bacon drippings, and I'm sure I added more than 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese (grin). It was *unbelievably* good. Thanks so much!

I made this for a special lunch for myself today. Scaled it down to one and it was DEVINE! Such a simple recipe that tastes like the "real deal". The sauce was very thick, but great. I attempted to make it semi healthy. I used turkey bacon, skim milk, and left out the salt and used a fake chicken burger. Awesome recipe when you want to eat gourmet but just dont feel like putting a lot of effort into a dish!
