Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you prefer, use about 2 teaspoons minced garlic instead of the 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • tip 2
    Keep dried herbs fresh! Pour dried herbs into measuring spoons away from the skillet. Dried herbs stay fresh longer if they're not exposed to heat or moisture.
