RECIPE VARIATIONS

  • Mushrooms are a wonderful addition to this dish. Just add a small can of mushrooms when you add the soup to the skillet.
  • Looking for a lower carb option? You could easily use cauliflower rice. You would probably need to leave the water out, since cauliflower rice has more moisture.
  • Use ground turkey or ground chicken! Since both have a lower fat content, you may need to add a little olive oil to the skillet when you are browning.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, we leave the salt out, since the soup has a higher salt content.
  • Mozerella or Provolone cheese would be a great addition. Just add it when you remove it from the oven.
