Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using flavored bacon or adding spices like garlic powder or onion powder to the stuffing mix. If you don’t have pork sausage, turkey sausage can be a leaner alternative. Make sure to chill the mixture well; this makes it easier to shape and prevents the bacon from slipping off during baking.
