I love Trader Joes for premade food. But there's something less than appealing about dumping something out of plastic and onto a plate. So I like to add something from a pan, that I make myself. Take this pot roast for interest. You literally heat it up for a couple minutes and its ready to go. Which is JUST enough time to whip up some homemade gravy (because the refrigerated pot roast doesn't come with its own.)
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup red onions, chopped
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 Tbsp maple syrup (notice this is not Log Cabin Lite...Thatboy wouldn't let me use the good stuff in this)
1Tbsp Dijon mustard
i fully support dressing up food from a bag to make it feel more like a homecooked meal.
ReplyDeleteSo you recommend TJ's pot roast? I haven't tried it. And of course you made gravy!!! How CAN you have pot roast without it? It is the best part!
ReplyDeletei look at that pot roast every time i go to trader joe's.
ReplyDeletenow i know it's safe to actually buy it!
