For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with crumbled plant-based ground or a mixture of lentils and chopped vegetables. To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the beef mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a unique flavor profile.

Oct 1, 2023I thought the ketchup was a bit too sweet, so I reduced it slightly and added a dash of hot sauce. Perfect!
