As you may have guessed by now - the Packit Gourmet team LOVES to eat! And this is one reason why we continue to introduce new meals at a steady pace. The following family-favorites-inspired meals won a spot in the 2011 New Meals Lineup:
A Shepherd's Cottage PieThis hearty beefy stew with farmstead veggies (corn, sweet peas, peppers and mushrooms) served over a bed of cheddar cheese mashed potatoes - was inspired by an ultimate comfort-food dish Grandma Avis used to make in her Shenandoah Valley kitchen.
Texas State Fair ChiliChock full of chunky ground beef, beans, tomatoes, peppers and chili spices; topped with crunchy corn chips and cheese - this one was based on what we call "Frito Pie" down here in Texas. Did you know Fritos got their start in Texas?
Kickin' Chicken Hot Wings WrapOur Kickin' Chicken Hot Wings Wrap brings the spicy goodness of our favorite Brooklyn Hot Wings joint to the backcountry! Ready in minutes with just a splash of cool water, we think this wrap makes a great trailside lunch or a pre-dinner appetizer over drinks with friends.
Santa Fe Breakfast Corn PuddingBlending our favorite recipe for Interior Mexican Corn Pudding with some neighboring New Mexico Hatch Chili Peppers; this southwestern savory "soufflé" pairs corn and two cheeses with just a kiss of sweetness for the perfect morning sendoff.
Happy Hour Snack PackA take-off on our favorite Happy Hour spot in Austin - the "Pack" features three new 'snacks' that are sure to bring a whole new meaning to sipping around the campfire:
Pico de Gallo Salsa,
Queso Rico and
Chorizo Bean Dip... paired with, of course, a pitcher of our favorite
Moonshine Margaritas!
