Save Leftover Chip Crumbs

When you get to the bottom of the chip bag and the tortilla chip bags there are always broken chips in the bottom. The broken potato chip pieces make wonderful casserole toppings, filler in meatloaf, coating for chicken and other meats for frying, etc.

The tortilla pieces are wonderful in soup, top of Mexican inspired casseroles and salads. Make sure to let your family know that you are using these leftovers and NOT to throw the bags with the crumbs away. This only works if you can get everyone on board the savings train!

Try adding them to your scrambled eggswith any leftover meat, veg., salsa & cheese...Spanish migas! Delicious!

If you're not going to use these right away, you might want to store them in the freezer to keep them from becoming rancid.
