Variations & swaps

Variations And Substitutions

  • Change up the meat. I love to use ground beef, but feel free to substitute ground bison, venison, or turkey. All work well, but red meat has the best flavor.
  • Switch out the beans. I like to use kidney beans, but pinto beans or a combination of the word also is great.
  • Add in raisins. Hear me out. I’m sure most of you that read this will be skeptical, but adding 1/2 cup of raisins adds the perfect touch of sweetness. The inspiration for this comes from The Best of Bridge cookbook. I don’t always add them, but I do love this addition. It’s one of the few ways I do like raisins.
