Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Try frozen Italian seasoned meatballs. Same convenience, different taste.
  • tip 2
    Top off the skillet dinner with crunchy garlic croutons – added flavor and crunch!
  • tip 3
    Make it fancy by spooning the mixture onto a platter. Top with cheese and basil. To melt the cheese, cover loosely with foil.
