Variations and Substitutions
Add-ins: Incorporate chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or sprinkle dried herbs (such as parsley or dill) for added flavor.
Spice it Up: Add finely minced jalapenos or a few drops of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Dietary Adjustments: Use low-fat cream cheese or a mixture of Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter option. For a vegetarian version, replace the chipped beef with finely chopped bell peppers or olives.
Cheese Varieties: Experiment with adding shredded cheddar or tangy blue cheese for a different twist on the classic recipe.
