I used onion powder instead of onion. I added it while browning the meat and also to the eggs when beating them. I also added garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I subtracted the bacon. I changed out the pickles for spinach. I used both Tillamook mild yellow Cheddar and Tillamook sharp white Cheddar. It turned out delicious, bery flavorful. My old man ate 3 servings. That's 3x the amount he normally eats
