The “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.®” brand shares recipes to fill you up before a night of trick-or-treating. You know how the song goes – “Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat” … but we’re talking about more than just candy.
The “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.” brand, funded by the beef checkoff, is sharing a few fang-tastic recipes to make sure your family is full and ready to go before heading out for a night of trick-or-treating.
Start by saying “bone-appetit!” with this Eye-conic Four Cheese Beefy Baked Ziti from MacKenzie Smith of Grilled Cheese Social. With the hearty addition of ground beef to a popular pasta dish, this ziti will keep your kids fueled as they go from house to house. Not only is it great for Halloween night, but for any weeknight that your family is busy with work, school and extracurricular activities.
In a hurry to get the kids’ costumes ready after a busy day at school? This Mississippi Pot Roast has you covered! All you need is to throw a chuck arm roast, or any roast of your choosing, in a slow cooker – then add ranch dressing mix, dry onion soup mix and pickled pepperoncini peppers. Just serve with couscous, mashed potatoes or noodles when you get home so you have more time to focus on all the Halloween fun. (The recipe is pictured with this story!)
And what better way to prepare to have a skele-ton of fun than with finger food, like these Air Fryer Meatball Taquitos? A fun spin on Mexican and Italian cuisines, these taquitos make for a quick, kid-friendly snack if you’re on the go – or a hearty dinner when served with a couple side dishes.
