Well, I must say I was VERY disappointed with the finished product of this recipe. First thing that I disliked was the fact, that by wrapping it up in foil and baking it the whole time, it made the bread elastic and tuff. Maybe cooking it wrapped for 15 min. and then uncovering it for the last 10 would have made the bread crispy and not tough. Secondly, it was about as bland as bland could get! I would recommend Valveeta cheese if I was ever going to make it again, which I won't. Sorry, but some good ole hamburgers would have tasted a whole lot better!!
