For an extra smoky flavor, try using bacon that has been smoked with hickory or applewood. If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute with an equal amount of white sugar mixed with a teaspoon of molasses. Experiment with different types of cheese to find your perfect combination – try Gouda, Swiss, or Pepper Jack. Consider adding a bourbon-infused caramelized onion topping for extra depth of flavor.
