Did someone say Easter?

The holiday is just around the corner, so it’s time to get hoppin’. The Meat Department and Deli at Strack & Van Til are ready to help you build an Easter meal that’s as easy as it is delicious.

Visit the Meat Department where an Easter parade of ham, lamb, beef and turkey is waiting to take center stage on your table.

“Ham is the classic choice for many families, and Strack & Van Til has the largest selection of smoked hams in the Midwest,” notes Meat Department Director Gary Teachman. “You’ll find bone-in and boneless options, spiral sliced and fully cooked varieties, plus hams that are easy to carve and simple to cook in a wide range of sizes.”

One standout is the Smithfield Hickory Smoked Ham Portion, naturally hardwood smoked, gluten-free and fully cooked. Its generous size makes it a smart pick for big families, and its value makes it even more appealing.

If spiral sliced is your style, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. Cure 81, Hillshire Farm, Sugardale and Cook’s offer flavorful choices, from Honey to Brown Sugar Glazed. For something truly memorable, look for the Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bone-in Spiral Sliced Half Ham. This ham is naturally hickory smoked, hand trimmed, fully cooked and packed with natural juices, plus it includes a glaze packet. You’ll spot it easily in its red foil package.

“If you want a special flavor that’s truly unforgettable, enjoy the ultimate in southern sweetness with the Pecan Praline coated Smithfield Spiral Sliced Ham,” Teachman adds.

Traditionalists will also appreciate Hillshire Spiral Sliced hams and the Fleur De Lis Premium Hardwood Smoked Ham. For those who prefer boneless convenience, Kentucky Legend hams offer a rich smoked flavor. Find them in half or whole sizes for larger gatherings or pick up a Kentucky Legend Petite Ham for more intimate celebrations. They’re easy to cook and carve, and you can even enjoy a $3 digital coupon on a half or whole Kentucky Legend Ham.

Thinking outside the ham? The Strack & Van Til Meat Department has a generous selection of other options for your holiday meal. Serve Certified Angus Beef roasts for the ultimate in tenderness and quality, whether you choose a Bottom Round Rump Roast, Top Round Roast, Eye of Round or Sirloin Tip. For a standout centerpiece, treat your guests to a Certified Angus Beef Choice Standing Rib Roast or a Certified Angus Beef Tenderloin Roast in choice or prime grades. Certified Angus Beef represents the top 30% of beef produced in the U.S. for tenderness and juiciness, and only 2% of all beef earns the USDA certified prime grade, making these cuts an “egg-stra” special treat.

Lamb lovers can choose from whole or half legs or a rack of USA-raised Purely Chiappetti Lamb. If you prefer a smaller cut that costs less, Australian Leg of Lamb is an excellent option. And for those who want to keep things simple, turkey is always a crowd pleaser. Jennie-O Boneless Turkey Breast cooks right in the bag, while Butterball Boneless Turkey Roast is easy to cook and slice.

No time to prepare and cook this Easter? No problem! The Strack & Van Til Deli Department has a lineup of fully cooked heat and serve meals that make hosting a breeze. Be sure to order by March 29 for pickup April 4.

For a different take on the main course, the Roasted Pork Loin Dinner is a hearty, comforting option that serves six for $59.99. It features a three-pound roasted pork loin, two pounds of Our Own stuffing, five pounds of Our Own mashed potatoes and two pounds of pork gravy.
