Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the mix. If you're out of barbecue sauce, ketchup or a mix of mustard and honey can work as substitutes. For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken. Ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly and drain excess fat for a healthier dish. This recipe is reminiscent of American recipes that combine simple ingredients for hearty meals.
