HORMEL® MARY KITCHEN® has expanded its established product portfolio by introducing two new skillet meal offerings — the Chorizo Skillet and the Southwest Style Skillet. These items represent an extension of the company's long-standing hash line, which is designed to deliver versatile, protein-packed meals that can be quickly prepared.
HORMEL® MARY KITCHEN®'s hash range consists primarily of seasoned potatoes and meats. The Chorizo Skillet is credited with delivering 14 grams of protein per serving. It is characterized by "a smoky, slightly tangy taste with a hearty blend of diced potatoes and tender pork, seasoned with robust chorizo spices." The HORMEL® MARY KITCHEN® Southwest Style Skillet, on the other hand, boasts 12 grams of protein per serving while offering "a Tex-Mex twist with diced potatoes, tender beef and pork, peppers and onions, seasoned with spicy, smoky and earthy notes."
