Lawry's Seasoning Mixes {Review & Giveaway}

I'm a working mom. Which means weekday evenings around our house are pretty rushed. We don't have a lot of time for meal preparation, and because of this, we pretty much eat the same quick-fix meals every week.

I recently received a Lawry's "Complete Meal Ideas" gift pack. This gift pack included four new varities of seasoning mixes, plus a large marinating dish with a lid.

This is definitely a great product for us! We need to change up our dinners around here and these seasoning mixes will allow us to do that. They all sounded so good, and so easy to prepare. Each package is an exciting meal idea that quickly turns ordinary chicken, beef or pasta into a delicious meal the entire family will love.

The new varieties include:

• Asian Style Beef & Broccoli – This easy to prepare stir fry meal will remind your family of their favorite Asian restaurant. The dish combines beef, broccoli and seasonings with a hint of garlic. Serve it over rice for a complete, satisfying meal.
• Chimichurri Burrito Casserole – Lawry’s gives the Burrito casserole a new twist with this traditional Latin American sauce. With a few simple fresh ingredients, mealtime just got a lot more exciting.
• Mediterranean Sundried Tomato & Garlic Chicken – Add a taste of the Mediterranean to your family’s casserole. This easy to bake casserole combines chicken, pasta, tomatoes and Feta cheese for a flavorful meal any night of the week.
• Tuscan Style Chicken Marsala with Garlic & Basil – This effortless version of a restaurant favorite comes together on your stovetop with just a few fresh ingredients. Flavorful garlic and basil gives this meal its own Tuscan flair, perfect for serving over pasta or rice.

We decided to try the Chimuchurri Burrito Casserole. As I have mentioned before, Brian makes most dinners during the week, and I pick the kids up from school. Dinner is usually ready when we get home. This dinner was no exception. It was easy for him to prepare. He browned the ground beef and then assembled the casserole according to the package directions, which took him about 20 minutes. Once it was assembled, it had to bake for 15 minutes. When the kids and I got home, dinner was ready.

I was worried that the kids wouldn't eat this, because I thought it may have been spicy. Boy was I wrong! Bryce gobbled a whole burrito up before I was really able to even start eating. And Rylie, who is normally super picky, really liked it too! Brian and I thought it tasted great, and we will definitely be making this again soon! I'm also looking forward to trying the other seasoning mixes I received.
