What's New with Chili?

pinto, black, and dark red kidney beans. The other two flavors

Stew Added to Progresso Portfolio
"Our consumers love
this new Stew, and chili. We tested this until we reached a flavor
to satisfy those with a hearty appetite," said Roger Galloway, Progresso marketing manager.
The new Progresso White Chicken Stew with Savory Herbs is a
thick and creamy blend of white chicken meat chunks, potatoes,
mushrooms, carrots, cream, peas, celery and onions, combined with
savory herbs and seasonings. The Hearty Vegetable Stew with Beef is
a favorite including large cuts of beef, tomatoes, potatoes, corn,
okra, onions, celery and sea salt.
Make Halftime Better Than the Game with Progresso Chili and
Stew
It's sports season and watching the game with family
and friends just got better. For those consumers that want to make
watching the game special with fun and flavorful dishes, Progresso
Chili and the new Stews are a great start.
Whether you are watching the game at home during the week or on
the weekend, chili is a quick go-to option to satisfy any sports
fan. Take your chili experience to a whole new level by creating a
chili bar during the game with all your favorite
toppings—Queso Fresco, Manchego cheeses; spicy and creamy sauces
such as salsa, cilantro crema, Greek yogurt, Siracha or guacamole.
For added crunch and flavor, serve banana peppers or
jalapenos, onions, limes, tortilla strips, bacon or cornbread
croutons. Be adventurous and top with shaved chocolate, crumbled
tater tots or sauerkraut.
When entertaining a group during the game, start with Chicken
Chili Nachos. Top tortilla chips with Pepper Jack cheese,
Southwest Style White Chicken with Chili Beans, Mexican cheese
blend and bake until melted. Then top with avocado, red bell
pepper, red onion, jalapenos and cilantro. To add some heat,
drizzle with hot sauce.
Next in the line-up, impress the team with Easy Buffalo
Chicken Chili Dip. This recipe simply combines Southwest Style
White Chicken with Chili Beans, cream cheese and cheddar cheese
melted and poured into baking dish. Top with more cheese and bake
until cheese is melted. For a finishing touch, top with blue cheese
and onions and serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
During half-time, change it out with something a little more
substantial. Vegetable Chili Mini Boats are fun and
flavorful. Fill mini taco boats with Roasted Vegetable Chili with 3
Beans and bake. Top with a colorful corn relish made of corn, red
bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, fresh lime juice.
For a sit-down occasion to feed a group, Chili Tachos
make for a hearty meal the family will love. Mound baked Tater
Tots™ on a pan, sprinkle cheddar cheese on the tots,
pour chili over it, top with another layer of cheese and bake until
melted. Add some crunch and top with chopped cooked bacon, tomatoes
and green onions.
Make Weeknight Dinners Easier and
Heartier!
Treat yourself to a big serving of warm and
comforting stew made just your way—top off your stew with fresh
parsley, arugula and a few croutons or serve with a warm
biscuit. Prefer to eat your stew with a fork? Try serving
over a bed of egg noodles or rice.
For a twist on a hearty meal to serve the family during a busy
week, Hearty Stew Pub Fries are sure to please. Top cooked
potato wedges with a layer of cheddar cheese, Hearty Vegetable Stew
with Beef and another layer of cheddar cheese and bake until
melted. For a final touch, top with blue cheese and green onions.
This will fill the family and is quick and easy.
Turn biscuits into Chicken Stew Biscuit Cups with White
Chicken Stew with Savory Herbs. An easy weeknight meal that is full
of flavor and fun to serve family and friends. Simply place
refrigerated biscuits in muffin cups and press down, spoon in
chicken stew and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake. For a
little color, top with parsley and serve.
