KENT, Washington – Consumers continue to seek more choices for take-home meals and easy entertaining. Kings Command Foods, Kent, Wash., aims to help retailers deliver with new meatball party platters and meatloaf sliders on pretzel buns. Made with the known quality of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand, the premium products offer hearty, home-style flavor and appearance.
“Certified Angus Beef ® brand quality and sauce choices of the meatball platter are unparalleled and appealing to consumers,” says Ron Baer, King’s Command president. “Our products are fully cooked and ready to serve which allows consumers to quickly create a meal without any hassle.”
The party platter offers made-from-scratch flavor for family gatherings, game day and more. The precooked meatballs are available in a distinctive 2.75 lb. (44 oz.) microwavable tray. Each tray includes two, 16 oz. packages of half-ounce Certified Angus Beef ® meatballs and both Sweet Chili (6 oz.) and BBQ (6 oz.) sauce packets. Product arrives frozen with eight trays per case and can be offered in refrigerated meat or deli cases.
The Certified Angus Beef ® meatloaf slider on a pretzel bun is a trendy addition to the hot deli case or take-home meal selections in licensed retail stores. The 1.2 oz. patties and 1.0 pretzel buns are frozen for optimum stocking ease and come with 80 sandwiches per case.
“Sliders are hugely popular and their rarity in stores makes this a unique, must-have item,” Baer says. “Offering a meatloaf slider makes it that much more unique than a traditional burger.”
The meatloaf and meatballs are made with Certified Angus Beef ® chucks and blended with onions, green peppers and breadcrumbs for homemade flavor and texture. Ten strict standards ensure the brand is a cut above USDA Prime, Choice and Select. No MSG, binders or fillers are used.
