Test Kitchen Tips
·
To
make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or
blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to
3/4 cup crumbs. This recipe was tested with sun-dried tomatoes that do not need
to be soaked before use.
·
Using
lean ground beef instead of beef that’s 80% lean saves 45 calories per 4-ounce
serving of beef. Lean ground beef is also 29% lower in saturated fat.
