Cheddar cheese can also be substituted in place of the Swiss.Update: 12/26/2008 when we made this again we used a few extra ingredients - nutmeg, crushed red pepper flakes & instead of garlic powder I had some left over roasted garlic and we added that as well, it added that exra zing that I thought it needed!l ;)
