Three Days of Comfort Entrées

Founded in 1979, Elephants Delicatessen in Portland, Oregon, pioneered the gourmet food market with its made-from-scratch entrées prepared with local ingredients. This collection includes three comfort food favorites to nourish body and soul. Preparation couldn't be easier—just heat in the oven and enjoy. These classically comforting dishes are a time-saver for busy families and a thoughtful gift for anyone who is too busy to shop and cook.

Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese: Fusilli con Buco pasta enrobed in a cheddar cheese sauce with chunks of hardwood-smoked bacon and sliced caramelized onion, topped with panko breadcrumbs and fresh parsley.

Beef Pot Pie: Large, tender chunks of beef and vegetables in a hearty beef gravy sauce topped by a golden, flaky pastry shell.

Swedish Meatballs with Spaetzle: Handmade meatballs of ground beef, turkey and pork in a lightly tangy beef gravy atop a bed of pillowy spaetzle topped with fresh chopped herbs.

• Includes three 32-oz. trays (Mac & Cheese, Beef Pot Pie and Swedish Meatballs).
• Each tray serves 2–3.
• 6 lb. total.
• Shipped frozen.

Receiving Instructions

• The entrées ship frozen with dry ice, which may have evaporated during shipment. This is normal. Please take care not to touch any remaining dry ice with bare hands. Upon receipt, store in the freezer, where the entrées will keep up to 60 days, or place in the refrigerator for use within 4 days.

Proper Thawing Technique

• For best results, thaw unopened containers in the refrigerator for 24 hours before heating.

Preparation

• Oven: Place thawed container on a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove lid, cover with foil and cook for 40 minutes. Remove foil during the last 5 minutes of cook time. Prior to serving, allow the entrée to rest for 5–10 minutes.
• Microwave: Remove lid and cook on High for 5 minutes. Rotate the tray 90 degrees, and cook again on High, for an additional 3–5 minutes. Prior to serving, allow the entrée to rest for 5–10 minutes.
• If a carousel microwave is to be used, the customer should follow the same timing without the need for product rotation, checking the item around the 4-minute mark.
• While the item can be prepared in the microwave, such preparation can affect the texture of the pasta and increase the rate of oil and dairy fat separation.
