Very Good. I made this for a Superbowl party and it was a hit. Yesterday, I wanted to make a meal for a friend who just had surgery and she asked me to make this again for her family. It's a keeper! — Alyssa

When craving a Mexican version of an open-faced sandwich, the tostada is it. Piled high with fresh ingredients for a classic entrée.

Delicious!

My family loves this recipie, however, it does take a while to cook so we only make it when we are having a lot of people over because it's easy to double and feed the whole crew!

Unlikely, but delicious combination

I thought the combination of German brats with Mexican flavors of con queso and cumin sounded odd. But it turned out to be yummy and comforting. A great comfort food! I doubled it and made one for a family with a sick baby, and kept one for us.

Two favs in One Dish

who doesn't like mac and cheese? and pair it with a good brat? well that's just a match made in heaven!! this is great on a cool evening when everyone is home and we are all just hanging out together and having fun nothing hits the spot like mac and cheese and brats mixed together this is delicious even if my boys were reluctant to try it at first...but after one bite...I swear it was the jaws theme going on as they piled it high in their bowls to settle in to eat...another great recipe thanks!!
