For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Add a splash of red wine to the meat sauce for added depth. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as Gruyere or mozzarella, for the Swiss cheese. If you don't have shortening, you can use olive oil or butter. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with lentils or crumbled plant-based meat substitute.
