You’ve heard the saying, “Two is better than one,” or maybe you’ve tossed around the phrase “best of both worlds.” Let’s be honest: everyone jumps at the chance to combine their favorite things into one experience, one moment ̶ or in our case, one recipe. Picture two classic recipes you never imagined could go together combined into one delicious food mashup. It’s the latest craze taking over kitchens and winning over stomachs. Welcome to our world of Melty Mashups!
If you want all the bold, cheesy flavors of a Philly cheesesteak, yet want to keep it light, consider our Philly Cheesesteak-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash. It merges the classic sub sandwich with a light, pasta-inspired squash. This combination is perfectly prepared using our classic seasonings. Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning, Seasoned Salt and Rustic Herb Seasoning make this melty mashup one for the books!
Mashups are all about innovation and creativity. What happens when half the family wants sloppy joes for dinner and the other half is begging for taco night? Let us introduce our Taco Joes. This meal idea is all the goodness of a sloppy joe sandwich made with taco-inspired flavors. Whip up a batch of our Make & Freeze Taco Meat and get this mashup going. The new debate your family will tackle is bun or tortilla – and that’s up to you and your melty mashup vibe.
Speaking of taco night … if you want to mix and mash it up it up a little more, try our Sausage Pizza Tacos. They are bursting with the flavors of a sizzling sausage pizza in convenient classic taco form. Salsa can sit this one out, as the recipe calls for our Mama Mia™ Marinara Sauce Mix. It’s a so-simple dinner idea that unites two universal loves – pizza and tacos – into a single, integrated experience. Having to choose between favorites is a thing of the past!
And how about a loaded baked potato turned into a casserole?! For a hearty twist, consider a classic chicken casserole recipe mashed (pun intended) with the goodness of a loaded baked potato for an ooey-gooey Loaded Baked Potato & Chicken Casserole. This unusual, yet oh-so-delicious pairing makes for a magnificent mashup that nobody will see coming, yet everybody will want a second helping of this unique and satisfying dish.
From pizza to tacos to casseroles, the melty mashup trend has a place at the table for everyone. It’s all about bending the rules to blend food and flavors into something both daring and delicious.
