Can I use other sausages instead of kielbasa?

Yes! Smoked sausage, andouille, or even turkey sausage work just as well.

What cheese melts best for this recipe?

Cheddar gives the best flavor, but mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a mix of both also melt beautifully.

How do I make this dish creamier?

Add a little more sour cream or a splash of milk when mixing everything together before melting the cheese.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely, bell peppers, peas, or spinach make great additions for color and nutrition.
