If you don’t have ground beef on hand, substitute for pork or turkey.Onion: You can use white or yellow onion here.Green pepper: This isn’t a classic ingredient but we like the added flavor it gives the dish. You can substitute for red pepper.Garlic: We love the added flavor garlic gives.Sauce: Diced tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire, and tomato sauce.Seasoning: For the seasoning, we used salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.Cheese: You can use your favorite shredded cheese. We used Four cheese but just about any cheese will work: Mozzarella, Colby Jack, Mild Cheddar, or a combination of cheeses. You can also just leave out the cheese completely.
