Keep it warm for serving such as at a tailgate party by storing in a small slow cooker (crock pot) on the warm setting.
Want is super extra meaty? Use 1.5-2 pounds of meat.
Want to stretch the meat out? Use half a pound of meat, or one pound of meat and double up all the other ingredients for a big batch.
