Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, consider using ground chicken or a plant-based sausage alternative if you want to keep it low-fat. You can also substitute whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber. If you enjoy a bit of sweetness, a pinch of brown sugar can balance the flavors nicely. Season your dish to taste, and adjust the hot pepper sauce based on your spice preference.
