Some recipes also add in ketchup, mustard, or dill pickle relish to really emulate an awesome cheeseburger. You can always add in your favorite frozen veggies or chopped fresh tomatoes to the ground beef, too. For a Mexican-inspired pie, add about 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning to the beef mixture. Top with sour cream, avocados, or salsa, and enjoy the fiesta! Take a trip to Italy by adding 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to the beef. Then switch out the cheddar for mozzarella. Serve with some marinara sauce. I don’t know about you, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
