For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or lentils. Experiment with different herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, to customize the flavor profile. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef mixture for extra depth of flavor. If you don't have pimento peppers, try using roasted red peppers for a similar taste and texture. Ensure the potatoes are slightly firm before mixing them with the other ingredients to prevent them from becoming mushy during baking.
