Variations:
- Don't stress out about having all fresh herbs and meats for this dish.
- I make it to clean out the frige of leftover lunch meats and cheeses.
- You can use dried spices (start with 1/2 the amount), add more or less meat as desired.
- Try it with any sort of red meat that you want, the taste will vary slightly, but the overall look and feel will be the same.
- You can make this with regular milk, be sure not to boil the mixture as the milk may curdle.
