5. Variations: Add 2 cups diced chicken or turkey Use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom Use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom and add 1 tsp (or more to taste) poultry seasoning. Add 1/2 c dried cranberries. To use as a stuffing for your turkey add all of the fritos and stuff your turkey. I usually use the hickory smoked bacon but you can use cherrywood smoked, applewood smoked, maple, bourbon or whatever is your favorite flavor of thick sliced bacon. You can use regular fritos, ranch fritos or chili cheese fritos. this is a very versatile recipe. feel free to customize it to what your family likes.
