Bob Evans – Easy Holiday Meals

With the holiday season in full swing and some of them have even past (Thanksgiving, first night of Hanukkah, etc.) the chaos is upon us.

How can one person expect to buy presents, clean the house, make stellar meals followed by a huge, mega good, meal AND make sure everyone is having a good time who is staying over the house? The answer- It isn’t possible, either you need some helpers or you need some help. Bob Evans is a great way to get meal help.

Think of their farm fresh dishes as a neighbor throwing in a hand to help out.

These dishes go from boneless turkey breast that melts in your mouth to stuffing and mashed potatoes that are, “I have to know how to make these'” good. There are lots of options in regard to dishes and they range from sides like mashed potatoes to home fries and buttered sweet corn. Next are the main courses which include ham, turkey and country fried steak. Of course there are also breads and desserts. Desserts are pies of various types including cherry, pumpkin and pecan and even fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

We had a pre- thanksgiving turkey meal and I can honestly say all the food was phenomenal. The turkey was moist, the mashed potatoes were awesome, and the pie didn’t last long at all. The gravy was smooth and the cranberry sauce tart and full of real cranberries.

The prices are also quite affordable and with pre ordering available and simple reheat instructions enclosed Bob Evens is definitely a useful neighbor to have.

Bob Evans Chili Recipe

Bob Evans Slow Cooker Chili was an awesome addition to our Super Bowl Sunday. Chili is one of my all time favorite foods, and you all know about my Little Man’s deep love of Bob Evans, so this was a match made in Heaven!

How did we make this particular chili?

Ingredients
1 lb Bob Evans frozen spicy sausage
1 lb ground beef, leaner is better at least 80%
1 can butter beans
1 can corn
1 can black eyed peas
1 can tomato sauce
spices is up to you
prep time 30 mins
cook time 6 hrs

Step 1-
The pre-game show;
First brown the defrosted meat. It does not have to be cooked all the way, through but keep in mind the browned pieces will keep their size for the most part in the finished chili. Also the amount of browning will show through in the end too. In other words, don’t burn it, and drain the fat too. 🙂

While browning the meat open all your cans except the tomato sauce and drain them. I like my chili a bit on the dry side rather then a soup consistency. If you want a soupy chili, keep the liquid from one can of beans.

Step 2- Game Time

Find the slow cooker, plug it in and start it up on the low setting. Put the tomato sauce in the slow cooker. Then once the cans are all drained add the contents of them to the slow cooker as well. Give it a quick mix then add the meat, give it another mix.
