“Just remove them from the package, place them in a baking dish and cook,” says Meat & Seafood Department Director Gary Teachman.

Try Strack & Van Til Crock Pot Packs with Certified Angus Beef pot roast, hand-trimmed boneless chicken breast or Smithfield Prime pork butt.
“Cook a meal while you’re out or at work,” notes Teachman. “Place all the ingredients into your slow cooker in the morning, add water, stir, and dinner makes itself.”
If you want to add some flavor but don’t have the time to marinate meat, the Meat Department now offers premium Certified Angus Beef cuts and marinades in chef-created flavors. Choose from various cuts, including tri-tip, traditional bacon-wrapped tenders and more. Your meat is then paired with Classic Steakhouse, Sweet & Smokey BBQ, Santa Maria or Rosemary Porcini marinade.
“For those who enjoy meat, this is the best of both worlds: Cuts of beef that meet stringent quality standards to earn the Certified Angus Beef label, married with tasty marinades that add tenderness and outstanding flavor,” Teachman explains.
