Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Look for beef in barbecue sauce in the supermarket meat department.
  • tip 2
    Hamburger or hoagie buns can be used in place of the pita bread. Layer dressing, the beef and the toppings inside each bun.
  • tip 3
    Serve these heart sandwiches with coleslaw, strawberries and iced tea.
