What does Devour mean by “fill line?” To make things even more confusing, the package shows the dish with water filled to the wrong line: This has been a cause of stress for many people, we’re sure. You’ll need to take the various packets out of the dish, then dump in the seasoning packet and add water up to the fill line. Yes, the bacon bits are dry and come in their own packet, so they won’t be cooked with the rest of the meal. There’s a dish with some dry noodles in it, a pack of seasoning, a shiny gold packet of cheese, and a packet of bacon bits.

So today we’re tying the Devour Sharp Cheddar Mac & Cheese with Bacon.Īs you can see in our image above, this dish contains several components that need to be assembled. Nacho-flavored meals can be a little tricky, and maybe the Hot & Melty Nacho Mac & Cheese was just a fluke. It was complicated to make, and it didn’t come out tasting very good.īut because we love the brand so much, we decided to try some more of their boxed macaroni. Unfortunately, our first foray into Devour’s non-frozen line (the Hot & Melty Nacho Mac & Cheese) didn’t go so well. So we were pleasantly surprised to find that Devour is making more than just frozen meals these days. A judicious amount of panko bread crumbs and some extra cheese provide the perfect crunchy-but-not-impenetrable topping for this classic side dish.We love Devour frozen meals here at Freezer Meal Frenzy, and we especially love their macaroni dishes. Properly made, plain old macaroni and cheese can be transcendent. Her recipe takes the classic and adds plenty of salt to the crust and sour cream to the topping to balance the rich, tart pie that’s as essential at a picnic or cookout in summer as a smoking grill and a cooler of cold beers. The pies travel well in a chilled cooler and are wonderful served by the spoonful from their trays just as well as if you try to cut neat slices.īut if whole pies seem too unwieldy for a picnic and you want something with plenty of zest, Nicole Rucker’s classic Key Lime Pie made as a slab pie and cut into bars is the ticket.

The blueberry pie gets a pastry crust, while the raspberry one gets a graham cracker crust swap either for the other or use store-bought, if you want. Each is filled with chilled fruit that stays raw, suspended in a tiny amount that’s cooked with sugar so that it breaks down and coats the fresh berries in a pleasing gel. But if you want to try something newer and a little fancier, Martin Draluck’s Parmesan Mac ’n’ Cheese updates a historical recipe made with Parmesan and cream and spiked with rosemary, thyme and lots of black pepper.Īnd for dessert, I love my duo of Fresh Blueberry Pie and/or Fresh Raspberry Pie. Times’ recipe for the “ Best-Ever Mac ’n’ Cheese” really is worthy of the name, the noodles baked up in a sauce flavored with cheddar and Gruyère.

My Crunchy and Spicy Green Potato Salad packs in more greens in the form of peas and a spicy zhoug-inspired dressing. I love Rodney Scott’s classic Southern-style Potato Salad spiked with mustard and vinegar. Or, I’ll make my Kale Pasta Salad With Parmesan and Smoked Almonds that I developed specifically for staying as crunchy and refreshing on day one as on day three (it actually only gets better the longer it sits).įor another cold but creamy salad, it’s potatoes all the way for me. Adeena Sussman’s Rough Chopped Salad With Yogurt and Dukkah is ideal because the crisp veggies stay in large chunks and all you have to do is pile them over some cold yogurt and sprinkle with the premade dukkah right before serving. To balance all the grilled meats, I love having a cold veggie-centric salad around. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.
