After a long day, there’s nothing like knowing that dinner is already planned. Some days, this means loading up the slow cooker with your favorite taco soup or Mississippi chicken, and on others it might look like grabbing a heat-and-eat meal on the way home.
And there’s no shortage of crowd-pleasing prepared meals at Costco. Members can’t get enough of the store’s tacos, chicken pot pie, and pizza. These meals are assembled in-store and offer shoppers a homemade taste without the hassle—often at a better value compared to purchasing all the ingredients separately.
Recently, Costco shoppers spotted a cozy new meal in the deli section, and it’s one you’ll want to add to your rotation immediately.
Costco’s New Mild Italian Sausages With Roasted Veggies and Pesto Butter
Costco’s Mild Italian Sausages With Roasted Veggies & Pesto Butter is the newest heat-and-eat meal to land in the deli section. This convenient, refrigerated meal features Kirkland Signature Mild Italian Sausages, fire-roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, and fresh parsley.
What really caught our eye is that it includes a compound butter featuring Kirkland Signature Italian Basil Pesto, which just happens to be one of our favorite Costco products.
This meal makes the perfect addition to your weeknight lineup, taking only minutes to prepare in the oven or air fryer. It can be served as is, or you can add a side such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, or herb rice. Alternatively, you can switch things up and serve it in a hot dog bun, similar to festival-style grilled sausage sandwiches.
And just because the Italian sausage comes prepared in a tray, doesn’t mean you can’t slice it up to use in all your favorite recipes. Whether you just need to speed up the cooking time, prefer to sauté, or are planning to make a creamy Italian sausage pasta, this could still be a time-saving shortcut worth grabbing.
The new sausage and pepper meal is priced at $4.99 per pound, with the average package costing around $15, though this may vary by location. Considering the cost of fast food meals, this is a filling and budget-friendly option. Plus, you might even end up with leftovers you can use to make stuffed peppers or a quick fried potato dish the next day. Sounds like a weeknight win, if you ask us.
