If you follow the recipe exactly, be prepared for Bland-City! However, here are some simple variations: For Italian Style - I added garlic, onion, fresh oregano, fresh basil, salt & pepper to the ground beef. I used a 5 italian cheese mix (mozzarella, romano, provolone, asiago and parm) in lieu of cheddar. After you bake it finish it off with a little pizza sauce ( I used contadina pizza squeeze) on top. **I also only used 1 cup of milk versus the cup and a half it calls for** For a Mexican Variation: Add cumin, onion, garlic, chili powder (or a simple taco seasoning packet) and jack cheese along with cheddar. This was an excellent jumping off recipe, just with a twist

I made this for a brunch yesterday. I just loved it, the ladies loved it and my husband too! I did make some changes though: I lessened the sugar to 1/2 cup, I used whole wheat flour, and used walnuts instead of pecans. I was a little bit concerned the dough was too thick, but after reading other reviews I was reassured it would come out just fine, and so it did! You could also lessen the sugar calories by substituting the white sugar for Agave Nectar. But beware Agave Nectar's Sweeter than sugar so remember this rule: 1 cup sugar = 2/3 cup Agave Nectar. Enjoy!
