Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 2
    Try Betty Crocker™ au gratin potatoes in this recipe instead of scalloped potatoes.
