You may remember my post from a few weeks ago when I mentioned that our basement flooded with sewage. Well ever since then, our house has been a disaster while we are waiting for our basement to be re-carpeted. Because of all this, I haven’t really felt like entertaining. Since football kicked off, my husband decided that he wanted to have a friend over to watch some of the games. Normally, I would send them down to the man cave to enjoy the game and maybe bring down some snacks. Since I haven’t been shopping since the flood, I didn’t really have anything to offer them. Enter Bellisio Foods to my rescue!

Earlier this year, Bellisio Foods partnered with Chili’s® Grill & Bar to introduce a new line of licensed Chili’s®-inspired frozen meals — boldly flavored and deliciously prepared to enjoy at home. I was able to whip up a few of these great frozen entrees for the boys and myself to enjoy while watching the game.

I ran up to my local Meijer and stocked up on a few different options and the boys decided that they wanted to try them all. If you don’t have a Meijer close by, you can get them at Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Food Lion, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, Schnucks and pretty much any major retailer.

There was quite a selection of bold, southwestern flavors and I decided on the Cheesy Chicken Pasta Florentine, Chicken Bacon Ranch, Cajun-Style Chicken Alfredo and Pepper Jack Mac ‘N’ Cheese.

Chili’s® at Home has a variety of different entrees to choose from and they also have multi-serve meals in case you are having a few people over. You can choose from:

Single-Serve Entrees

• Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese
• Cajun-Style Chicken Alfredo
• Cheesy Chicken Pasta Florentine
• Chicken Bacon Ranch
• Chicken Fajita Rice Bowl
• Island Chicken & Rice
• Mango Chicken with Rice
• Pepper Jack Mac ‘N’ Cheese

Multi-Serve Meals

• Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese
• Chicken Bacon Ranch
• Chicken Fajita Rice
• Nacho Potatoes with Beef & Bacon
• Seasoned Chicken Bites with Honey Chipotle Sauce

I thought Chili’s® at Home frozen entrees were so convenient, but the best part was that they had big, bold taste and weren’t bland like some other frozen foods. John loves spicy food and you definitely got that flavor with these dishes. In his words, he loved his entree! He tried the Cheesy Chicken Pasta Florentine. I tried the Chicken Bacon Ranch, our friend Mark tried the Cajun-Style Chicken Alfredo and we all tried the Pepper Jack Mac ‘N’ Cheese. I really liked the taste and that none of the entrees were over 500 calories (a big plus in my book).

I could have probably been sneaky about it and they would have never know that I made frozen dinners – you don’t normally get that kind of bold seasoning in regular frozen foods.

The new line of Chili’s® at Home frozen foods is inspired by some of the restaurants most popular dishes. If you are an avid Chili’s diner you will definitely see some familiar combinations.

I was thrilled to be able to serve something delicious and not spend the day cooking. Until we get the house back in order, I will definitely be getting more Chili’s at home meals to tide us over.
