Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Purchase 12 corn muffins or 2 (8-inch) pans of cornbread from the bakery at your grocery store in place of making your own. Simply cut into 1/2-inch cubes and toast as directed.
  • tip 2
    Try using chorizo or andouille sausage in place of the spicy pork sausage.
