Michael Locascio: Hello. I'm Chef Michael Locascio with FPL Food. And thank you for visiting our test kitchen.
Good food means good times with family and friends.
Today's culinary delight: stretching your meals with Chatel Farms homestyle meatloaf.
The convenience of Chatel Farms offers simple meal ideas for people and families on the go.
In showing the versatility, we're going to look at Taco Night using the Chatel Farms homestyle meatloaf.
Same package that you have bought at the store, now you can take it into a pan instead of baking it whole.
Like you see here, we are going to crumble it in a pan. Very simple. Over medium-high heat. I just brown that off.
And to save time, since we're a family on the go, I'm going to add a little bit of taco seasoning; any taco seasoning you would like.
A little bit of water.
And I like to add a little pico de gallo to mine, just to season it up.
Since the meatloaf already has some seasoning in it, we don't have to add salt and pepper.
That's the great part about this meatloaf.
I'm gonna stir this in and I'm gonna let the water reduce and then we're gonna make some tacos.
This is an easy way that you can take one meal, even if you've already cooked it, you could crumble it, add your taco seasoning,
reduce the water, and then come back and build your tacos again.
I'm going to let that go just a little bit longer.
And I will get my tray ready for my tacos.
I like soft tacos. My kids like hard tacos.
So, we're going to make one of each for you to see.
And you can see, it starts to go pretty quick once you start.
And the little pico de gallo just adds color.
If you have children that are afraid of green, or you're husband's afraid of vegetables also, you don't have to add this.
Turn the stovetop off.
Using my spoon, I'm just going to go in; set my tongs to the side.
A little bit of meat.
One container, which is two and a quarter pounds, makes 20 tacos if you did it whole.
We have other recipes that I want to show you that can stretch that out.
So, you don't have to use the whole container the first night.
A little bit of lettuce. Put that on there.
A little bit of salsa.
And there's our Taco Night for the family, using the Chatel Farms homestyle meatloaf.
Once again, thank you for visiting our test kitchen. We hope you join us again for more culinary delights.
