One saucy skillet meal, coming right up! Just add 1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef (at least 96% lean) to a large skillet, along with your favorite seasonings. Cook and crumble for 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Add a can of Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque and 4 cups frozen petite veggies. Cook and stir until hot & well mixed!

Green Giant’s Riced Veggies Cauliflower Medley was practically made for easy cauliflower fried rice. Just heat in a skillet according to package directions, and then toss with 3 tbsp. thick teriyaki marinade or sauce and 8 oz. chopped cooked shrimp. (We get ours in the freezer aisle and thaw overnight.) Stir until hot & well mixed. Too easy!

Hello, tuna tacos with a twist… SO MUCH YUM! Warm two 6-inch corn tortillas in the microwave, and top with a pouch of StarKist Tuna Creations in Ranch. Top with your favorite salsa (1/2 tbsp. per taco), fold, and enjoy.
