Hillshire Farm速 brand and Chef Andrew Zimmern want to help people turn their freezer finds into easy dinners
CHICAGO, October 21, 2021 油Americans have been freezing food at record rates these past two years, with a majority of people across the country (55%) saying they bought a second or even third freezer to house all the extra frozen food.
A recent survey* of 2,000 people across America revealed that some of the most common油foods in freezers油are vegetables, soups and sauces. And close to a third reported feeling stressed, uneasy, or surprised when they open their freezer and see all the unused food; one-half say they have to waste their frozen food because they forget about it.
So whats the answer? Hillshire Farm油Smoked Sausage. Hillshire Farm速油brand, alongside James Beard Award-winning chef and television personality, Andrew Zimmern, are helping people dig into their freezers and create easy dinners with just this one added ingredient.
I love freezing food for so many reasons in part because I can store fresh food and use it later. And I also love the challenge of finding new ways to make dinner from what I find there, said Andrew Zimmern. So Im super excited to show people how to get creative using their freezer finds and Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage an easy protein that amps up every recipe. Use your freezer America!油We can all help reduce food waste, save on grocery bills and best of all, make every day of the week easy and delicious.油
