Pro Tips 🔥

• Extra creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream or a little softened cream cheese.
• Extra smoky: Use smoked paprika or bacon grease instead of some mayo.
• Spicy twist: Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne.
• Make-ahead: Filling can be made a day ahead—assemble just before serving.

Perfect for holidays, cookouts, or “just because” snacking 😏
