Operators can differentiate their offerings and create signature dishes with some easy speed scratch recipes. For example, simple ingredients like tomatoes, bacon, pancetta, chilies or bread crumbs can take a macaroni and cheese entrée to new levels of creativity, while also adding another use for common ingredients in your kitchen. Consider offering a new macaroni and cheese entrée weekly as part of a limited time offer or a rotating special, or create your own macaroni and cheese bar with ingredients and toppings customers can add themselves. Or take Block and Barrel Stuffed Green Peppers and turn them into a trendy Relleno for a simple, yet festive Mexican inspired dish.
For a convenient heat and serve alternative to traditional macaroni and cheese, try Block and Barrel Pepperjack Macaroni and Cheese; it offers a zesty twist on an old time favorite. Other items in the Sysco frozen entree line, such as stuffed cabbage rolls, meat lasagna and beef stew also offer the opportunity to heat and serve or to use as a base for additional menu items.
ConAgra Foodservice Award Cuisine Pot Pies and Skillet Meals are additional examples of convenient, low labor meal ideas that can add to your comfort food offerings. In fact, the Skillet Meals line includes such favorites as pot roast and Philly cheese steak, in an easy, cook and serve, portionable format.
