It’s the New Year. You’re back to work; the kids are back to school and activities. It’s business as usual. After a long day, let Strack & Van Til help with its Meals Made Easy from the Meat & Seafood Department and the Deli.
“When it comes to feeding families, as well as individuals, you can’t beat Strack & Van Til for making customers’ lives easier,” says Meat & Seafood Department Director Gary Teachman.
Try Crock Pot Packs, available at all Strack & Van Til locations, in three delicious comfort food varieties: Savory Certified Angus Beef® Pot Roast, tender Smithfield® Prime Pork Butt and succulent Hand Trimmed boneless chicken breast.
Teachman says making a Crock Pot Pack meal is seamless and convenient. “Simply place all the ingredients into your crock pot in the morning, add water, stir and let your dinner make itself while you’re at work or out of the house.”
Each ready-to-cook, 3-pound Crock Pot Pack comes with all the items you need to create a mouth-watering meal and serves 4-6 people. Included are 1½ pounds of beef, pork or chicken, cut into one-inch cubes, 6 ounces of petite carrots, a 2-ounce package of celery, whole golden potatoes and an Our Signature Seasoning packet to bring out the rich flavor.
Just add two cups of water, sprinkle the seasoning packet on top and stir. Heat the ingredients in your crockpot for approximately 2½ to 3 hours at high temperature or set the temperature on low and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours.
Meal solution fajitas are tasty favorites for weekdays, weekends and even for the big game. Try beef, chicken, pork or shrimp fajitas, sliced the way they’re served at your favorite restaurant, paired with bell peppers and onions and seasoned with our famous Fajita Seasoning. Full of hearty proteins, fresh veggies and a bit of spice, fajita meat-and-vegetable combos are made fresh daily.
“Our fajita varieties are precut, preseasoned and ready to cook, grill or pan sauté, which saves a lot of time,” notes Teachman.
Quick and Easy Take and Bake Meals deliver homemade taste without the hassle of time-consuming preparation. Simply remove them from the package, place them in a baking dish and cook. Selections include pork, chicken, meatballs and sausage.
Pork trays include stuffed boneless pork loin chops and pork chops with country-style stuffing. Hand-trimmed chicken trays feature chicken breast stuffed with asparagus, broccoli and cheese or Canadian ham and mozzarella. Boneless chicken breast options are available with rustic rosemary and garlic, lemon pepper, carne asada, Jamaican jerk or citrus ginger seasonings.
Try other bakeable meals such as gourmet meatballs, stuffed bell peppers, Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms, cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped with bacon, stuffed garlic mushrooms, Italian sausage stuffed mini peppers, crab and bacon stuffed mushroom caps and lobster mac and cheese.
If you’d rather steam your meal, pop a Steamable Bag with fish, chicken or pork in the microwave for 4-6 minutes for ready-to-eat deliciousness.
Steamable options include seasoned salmon or seasoned tilapia with vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) and seasoned shrimp with rice.
