Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream after baking. You can substitute the bacon with turkey bacon or omit it entirely for a lighter version. If you prefer a different flavor, try using smoked sausage instead of frankfurters. Adding diced celery can also enhance the crunch factor, similar to what you'd find in American recipes.
