Variations & Tips
For a healthier twist, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream to add some extra protein. If you’re looking to add more veggies, try mixing in some diced bell peppers or chopped celery for added crunch. For a bit of sweetness, toss in a handful of dried cranberries or raisins. If you’re not a fan of bacon, you can use turkey bacon or omit it entirely for a vegetarian version. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to suit your taste preferences.
