Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Try ready-to-use chopped garlic to save a few minutes of prep.
  • tip 2
    If you have both green and yellow beans, use equal amounts of each in this recipe.
  • tip 3
    Oregano, popular in Mediterranean cooking, has a pungent flavor and smell. This popular "pizza" herb was almost unknown in the United States until soldiers returning from overseas during World War II sang the praises of this herb.
