Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Add flavor to meatballs by using ground pork or Italian sausage for part of the ground beef.
  • tip 2
    One can of condensed tomato soup plus 1 teaspoon of roasted garlic from a jar and 1 teaspoon of dried basil leaves can be used in place of condensed tomato soup with roasted garlic and herbs.
  • tip 3
    To reduce the fat in each serving of this casserole by about 6 grams and the calories by about 60, use 1 cup of nonfat milk or water in place of the half-and-half.
