For those of you who already know the wonders of Bob Evans store-bought mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese, get ready to stock your refrigerators with new Bob Evans Farmhouse Favorites. These veggie sides are crispy, tasty, and colorful — like you'd find in a restaurant. Better yet? You make them in the microwave, so they're also quick and convenient.
And if you haven't tried Bob Evans refrigerated dinner sides yet — I'm sorry. You're missing out. I always have at least one in my fridge for a quick and easy side dish for. . . well, pretty much anything. Grab one of those when you shop for these Farmhouse Favorite veggies. You can thank me later.
You'll find the Farmhouse Favorites in the refrigerated section at your grocery store. Here's why I'll be stocking up during my next grocery haul.
1. There are three veggie options to choose from.
I've got picky kids. They like certain veggies, and they make it clear which ones they'll eat — and which they won't — on any given night. Having a flavorful stash of refrigerated corn, green beans, and carrots at the ready gives them (and me) options during dinnertime.
Here are all the new Bob Evans Farmhouse Favorites products you can find in your grocery store's refrigerated section:
2. They take just five minutes to cook in the microwave.
Just like my fave mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese, these are completely heat and eat. You pop them in the microwave, cook for five minutes, and they're steaming hot and ready to serve.
You'll know they're cooking in there, too. The products actually whistle while they cook, letting out steam and keeping your veggies crisp and colorful, just like you'd get at a restaurant.
3. I don't need to worry about seasonings.
Not only do these sides require absolutely no prep or effort other than popping them in the microwave, but they also go directly to your plate when they're done cooking.
Each of the new Farmhouse Favorites come with a flavorful sauce, so there's no need to season them when they come out of the microwave. Cook, serve, eat. That's it.
4. Kroger has a digital coupon and Mega Sale pricing when you buy five.
When I buy veggies, I always Stock. Up. I want my freezer to be bursting with easy and convenient choices on busy weeknights.
