Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or diced peppers to the meat mixture. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you want to make it vegetarian, try using a meat substitute like lentils or mushrooms. Adjust the seasonings to your preference, and if you have leftover filling, it makes a great topping for baked potatoes or as a dip with chips.
