Notes
Allergy-Friendly Considerations and Substitutions:
- ALWAYS read food labels carefully.
- For any spice or added flavor, I stick with the McCormick brand because they provide the clearest allergen information and safety statements. McCormick allergen information can be found here.
- Make it vegetarian and skip the meat.
- Substitute beef and use another ground meat of choice.
