  • For best results, use a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a substitute with flour, baking powder and salt.

  • Substitute almond milk for sour cream to make the recipe vegan-friendly. This substitution will make the recipe suitable for those who follow a vegan diet and ensure that no animal products are used in the recipe.
  • Substitute jalapeno peppers for the green chilies to add some spice to the recipe. This substitution will give the recipe a slightly different flavor and make it more interesting for those who like a bit of heat in their food.

Cheesy Bacon Appetizers Replace the chilies with 3 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled. Add 1/4 cup of diced red onion to the dough. Top each appetizer with a sprinkle of cooked, crumbled bacon before baking.
