For extra flavor, try adding cooked and crumbled Italian sausage or shredded cheddar cheese to the stuffing mixture. Consider using different types of bacon, such as hickory-smoked or peppered bacon, to add unique flavors. These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
