Make the Most of BBQ Season with Meal Kits

Warm weather has arrived and the grills are out! This season, customers are looking to put aside their bread baking challenges and become better at grilling and you can help them. Whether they are simply craving a good BBQ spread that can be reheated or are looking to grill their own, here are some ideas to help you perfect kits for Memorial Day and beyond.

Retail outlets can easily spruce up a meat counter to feature already marinated meats. Our Adovada Sauce, Salsa Verde, and Morita Salsa offer flavors that are ready to hit the grill. The sauces can also be sold in deli containers so customers can use on any meat. Restaurants can offer marinated meat kits, complete with harder-to-find cuts of meat and video instructions with grill tips that will boost

Grill nights and BBQ dinner kits don’t feel complete without an array of sides! Our RTU Mac and Cheese is a tried and true side that pulled pork can easily be stirred into for a piggy mac. Or, rely on our aged White Cheese Sauce to make your house mac and cheese recipe even more special and doable. Be sure to include other fun sides in the kit, like greens, beans, potato 

For already cooked meal kits, offer platters that give a variety of meats and vegetables that would be difficult to conquer all at once at home. Load up a kit with burnt ends, pulled pork, pork belly, slices of brisket, ribs, lamb and chicken. Throw in tortillas and salsas to let customers build the ultimate BBQ taco.

Americans love their pizza, especially right now. Why not add a BBQ-inspired pizza to the menu? According to Mintel, BBQ pizzas have grown 52% on menus. Swap out tomato sauce for our tomato-based Adovada Sauce topped with pulled pork or chicken, smoked mozzarella, red onion, cilantro and more.
