Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.
tip 2
Here's some "broth math" to help you if don't have any ready-to-serve beef broth on hand. You can use three 10 1/2-ounce cans of condensed beef broth with 2 1/2 soup cans of water or 7 cups of your homemade beef broth. Or add 7 cups of water with 7 beef bouillon cubes or 2 heaping tablespoons of beef bouillon granules.
tip 3
Vegetarians in your family? Use 4 cans of ready-to-serve vegetable broth instead of the beef broth. The color will not be a rich, deep brown, though, so Golden French Onion Soup may be a more appropriate name!
tip 4
Method for Cheesy Broiled French Bread: Set oven control to broil. Place bread slices on rack in broiler pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil with tops 5 to 6 inches from heat about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
