The house always smells so good when I cook this. This recipe is definitely a hit!

For a lighter version, try substituting ground turkey or chicken for the beef and pork. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or pepper jack, to change up the flavor profile. For an extra kick, add some finely chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. If you’re looking to incorporate more vegetables, consider adding finely chopped bell peppers or shredded zucchini. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
