Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of ground beef and ground pork. You can also replace the tomato soup with crushed tomatoes for a fresher taste. If you want to lighten the dish, substitute ground turkey or chicken. Adding spices like garlic powder or onion powder enhances the flavor, similar to those found in classic American recipes.
