Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mixture. If you don't have cheddar, try using mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. For a smoky taste, you can substitute the barbecue sauce with a smoky chipotle sauce. Thinly sliced onions or bell peppers can also be added for extra flavor.

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quicker option, though the oven will help maintain the texture.
