Not only is the meal kit budget-friendly, but the whole thing comes together in just 30 minutes. To celebrate the start of fall, Hak's (a leading manufacturer of condiments and prepared foods) is selling a Kobe Beef Slider Meal Kit at Costco stores across Los Angeles and Orange County. Unlike most meal kits, Hak's version contains high-end ingredients such as juicy Kobe beef. In addition to six Kobe slider patties, the kit also contains organic American cheese, sweet caramelized onions, six pretzel buns, and a tangy mustard aioli. The meal kit even comes with a side of sweet potato fries for a complete restaurant experience. While there are plenty of [meal kits on the market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helper-deluxe), Hak's latest offering shows the potential market for more gourmet at-home options.
