Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Usually, I substitute quick-cooking oatmeal, a combination of oatmeal and crushed saltines, or crushed saltines for the dry bread crumbs. I skip the salt if I use only saltines. I often add around 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, too. I use catsup in place of the milk and add about 1/2 c. water and skip the soaking of the crumbs.
