Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    One pound fully cooked mild Italian sausages can be used for the uncooked links.
  • tip 2
    Cut meat and vegetables into pieces of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Meat and poultry will be easier to slice if you freeze them slightly before cutting.
  • tip 3
    Shave fresh Parmesan cheese over this Italian bowl.
