Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We tested this recipe with an 8-ounce package of diced ham, but if you have leftover ham, feel free to use that instead. You will need about 1 1/4 cups diced ham.
  • tip 2
    No chives on hand? Thinly sliced green onions make a great substitute.
  • tip 3
    To cut a bell pepper, cut 1/2 inch off the top and bottom of the pepper, then stand upright. Cut one side of pepper from top to bottom, then lay pepper on its side. Cut all the way around the inside of the pepper to remove the seeds and membranes. Then cut or slice the pepper as desired.
