  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, add to a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Peppers

    Evenly divide peppers (if you receive a whole bell pepper, cut into 1/2" dice) and 2 tsp. olive oil between both provided trays.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until peppers are tender, 10-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove trays from oven.

    Alternatively, reserve half the raw bell peppers for snacking/serving on the side.

  2. 2

    Add the Pasta and Sauce

    Evenly divide pasta, cream base, onion salt, Bolognese sauce, Cajun seasoning (to taste), 1/4 tsp. salt, and cheese between both trays. Stir to combine. Trays will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Cover trays with foil.

    Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the Cajun seasoning.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake both trays covered in hot oven until cheese is melted and pasta is heated through, 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Uncover trays and stir to combine.

    To serve, garnish pasta with crispy onions. Bon appétit!
