Heat-And-serve Macaroni Meals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Erbert & Gerbert’s is Offering Take-and-Make Mac & Brisket Meal Kits

— May 12, 2020 — Lifestyle
To help families simplify meal times while sheltering in place, Erbert & Gerbert’s has begun offering new Take-and-Make Mac and Brisket Meal Kits.

The new meal kits come in two different sizes, one of which is designed to feed four people and one that feeds six people. Each kit comes with Erbert & Gerbert’s all-natural beef brisket, creamy mac & cheese, a container of Chipotle Citrus BBQ Sauce, and pre-cut bread. The idea is that consumers can use the bread, BBQ Sauce, and brisket to make hearty brisket sandwiches with mac and cheese on the side.

With most restaurants still closed for dine-in service, chains like Erbert & Gerbert’s have resorted to meal kits as a way to expand their takeout and delivery options.
