Why consider a single food or ingredient for more than one menu item?
For one, excess inventory of a product intended for only one menu offering can remain on the shelf or in the walk-in and take up valuable space. Second, consider that product not used quickly consumes valuable space, and that affects your bottom line.
Take Quick-Start® Home Style Chili from Basic American Foods. Quick-Start® Home Style Chili is the quickest way to scratch chili, with red beans and a blend of special seasonings. What’s more, one shelf-stable pouch of Quick-Start® Home Style Chili can be the foundation of many other dishes—for all menu dayparts. Consider these flavorful and solution-providing applications:
- Chili Shepherd's Pie. It’s the simple and hearty flavors of yesterday with ground-beef chili baked under a latticework of warm, fluffy mashed potatoes.
- Chili-Cheese Fondue. For a good-selling starter, twist the traditional with a two-cheese-and-chili version of fondue, generous enough for hearty dipping of tortilla chips and a selection of raw veggies.
- Santa Fe Potato Breakfast Stack. Layers of bean chili, scrambled egg, salsa, sour cream and guacamole mounded atop Golden Grill Russet™ Premium Hashbrown Potatoes.
- Fiesta Taco Pie. Jonathan Dye, chef of residential dining at the University of Iowa, offers an “open face” taco salad with prepared Golden Grill Russet™ Premium Hashbrown Potatoes as a base. Atop crispy golden potatoes he layers Quick-Start® Home Style Chili prepared with ground beef, then follows with sour cream, shredded lettuce, tomato and avocado, and crowns with shredded cheddar jack.
