Tip
What's On Trend?
New Style Comfort Food

Comfort foods, whether a fond childhood memory or recent discovery, are often turned to again and again. Not only nostalgic, they create that warm, fuzzy feeling. Changing food tastes and the explosion of global cuisine has reinvented the classics -- familiar flavors get new style.

Love a grilled cheese sandwich? Herbed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches get hip with basil, Roma tomatoes and two kinds of cheese between slices of crunchy English muffin bread. And what about mashed potatoes? Add the latest flavors like Caramelized Onion & Swiss Cheese or Chipotle, Green Chili & Cheddar -- they are just a couple of the choices in S'Mashed Potatoes with Stir-Ins.

Tips and How To's
Update your favorite comfort foods with just a little twist from Land O'Lakes. Check out the easy ideas in the chart below.

Comfort Food Favorites Add a New Twist
Spaghetti For creamy, rich restaurant style flavor, stir in ½ cup LAND O LAKES® Whipping Cream into a large jar of tomato-based pasta sauce; heat until hot.
Pizza Calling all kids! Cut fun shapes from slices of LAND O LAKES® American Cheese Slices and arrange on top of pizza 2 to 3 minutes before it's done.
Soup A deliciously warm and melty surprise waits! Sprinkle your favorite shredded LAND O LAKES® Cheese into the bottom of soup bowls; ladle hot soup over cheese.
Steak Move over, ketchup and steak sauce! Mix softened LAND O LAKES® Butter with your favorite herbs, spices or minced fresh garlic. Spoon tablespoon size dollops onto a plate lined with plastic wrap; cover. Refrigerate until serving time. Top each hot steak with a dollop of seasoned butter.
Burgers Double the cheese please! Add 1 cup of your favorite shredded LAND O LAKES® Cheese to 1 pound of ground beef; mix gently. Cook burgers as desired adding additional shredded cheese to top of burgers several minutes before they're done.
Bread Cheese bread rules! Sprinkle the top of store-bought artisan breads like ciabatta, French, rustic Italian or sourdough with shredded LAND O LAKES® Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Swiss and heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Pancakes Try a unique, sweet topping. Serve pancakes topped with LAND O LAKES® Butter combined with fruit preserves.
Create Your Own Signature Twists
Start with tried and true favorite recipes and make changes in small steps. It's easier to add more ingredients than to take something away.

Much loved macaroni and cheese is a perfect example. Substitute LAND O LAKES® Monterey Jack Cheese for the Cheddar or American Cheese and sprinkle the top with crushed tortilla chips and bake as usual. Next time take it a step further and add a 4-ounce can of drained, diced green chilies. Or, for another flavor variation, stir-in crisply cooked bacon, diced roasted red peppers and some chopped fresh rosemary or basil to the original recipe.

When it comes to adding herbs and spices we recommend adding them in 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon increments until it tastes just the way you like it.
