For the best flavor, use freshly rendered bacon grease from a high-quality bacon. If you don't have seasoned salt, you can use a combination of regular salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Smoked Gouda, Monterey Jack, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan would be delicious. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoned salt. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness, but be warned, it probably won't last long!
