For a richer flavor, consider using applewood smoked bacon. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 tablespoon of dried basil can be substituted. To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the bacon-feta mixture. For a lower sodium option, rinse the diced tomatoes before adding them to the slow cooker. Feel free to add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, or garlic.
