Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If possible, refrigerate shredded beef mixture, then remove fat from top, then reheat.
  • tip 2
    Like it hot? Add 1 or 2 extra tablespoons of chopped chipotle chile to the sauce.
  • tip 3
    To serve this beef as a sandwich, bake Pillsbury™ biscuits as directed on package. Using slotted spoon or tongs, top biscuit with beef and a spoonful of coleslaw.
