Praise & Giveaway: Progresso Recipe Starters

October 8, 2012 By Melanie

Progresso Recipe Starters sauces are available in five flavorful varieties that can each be used as a starter to create numerous home-cooked meals. For added inspiration, Progresso created 80 recipes utilizing this new line of cooking sauces that can be found on Progresso.com/RecipeStarters. Many of these recipes are classic family favorites, such as Bacon Mac n’ Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Parmesan, and utilize ingredients your family may already have on-hand. In addition, all of the recipes on the site include a Rate and Review feature, so we encourage you to leave a rating and review of your own, in which you can even include a link back to your blog post about that recipe! Look for Progresso Recipe Starters in the soup aisles!

Inspired by the five “Mother” Sauces that form the basis of classical French cooking, including Béchamel, Velouté, Tomato, Espagnole and Hollandaise, Recipe Starters use a variety of ingredients and the best techniques to make sure you have delicious options to take on the school days dinner dilemma. 

The five varieties are:
Creamy Parmesan Basil: This creamy, full-bodied and indulgent sauce that was inspired by alfredo and creamy pesto sauces can be used to make dishes such as Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken, Creamy Chicken Alfredo, Basil Chicken Ravioli Carbonara and Basil Chicken Thai Noodle
Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock: With caramelized, roasted chicken broth, garlic and a touch of cream, this stock is perfect for dishes such as Creamy Lemon Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Enchiladas
Fire Roasted Tomato: A medium-thick tomato sauce, accompanied by flavors of roasted, caramelized tomatoes, oregano and bell peppers, which can be used as a great way to begin creating  Pulled Chicken Sandwiches, Easy Weeknight Chicken Parmesan, Cheese-stuffed Mini Meat Loaves and Mole Tacos
Creamy Portabella Mushroom: Creamy and highly indulgent, this smooth sauce is rich with sautéed Portabella mushrooms,  giving you any easy way to start delicious dishes like Easy Weeknight Beef Stroganoff, Steak and Mushroom Sandwich and Tetrazzini
Creamy Three Cheese: Rich and creamy with a blend of yellow and white cheeses, and a savory background of chicken stock, onion, garlic and cracked pepper, this is a great way to satisfy cheese lovers with Easy Weeknight Bacon Mac & Cheese, Twice-Baked Potato Pizza and Cheesy Egg Breakfast Tacos

My Review:

As a working mom, who’s husband normally throws dinner together, having something super easy, that tastes great is really helpful. For this review we were sent the Creamy Three Cheese and the Fire Roasted Tomato.

With a Mac & Cheese lover in the house, we decided to make the recommended easy weeknight Bacon Mac & Cheese. Just a few ingredients and the can of Progresso Recipe Starters and we had a great dish in just about 30 minutes. The kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds.

We also made the pulled chicken with the Fire Roasted Tomato. This is a recipe I make quite often, but the flavor was different. My little guy thought it was a tad spicy but he ate the entire sandwich.


Once again it was super easy! Want to try them out? Enter to win the Progresso Recipe Starters Kit!

    I think Creamy Parmesan Basil would be great. I love making chicken alfredo, but sometimes the prep drives me to distraction. I’d like to try this as a base for sure. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

    I’ve actually used the Parmesan Basil in one of their recipes for a chicken and ham and cheese foldover thing and it was really good! And the dish only took me about 5 minutes to prepare. Can’t beat that.
