3 easy, delicious fall meals

Fall is the perfect time of year for cooking cozy, flavourful comfort meals for your family. It doesn’t matter if you prefer to use the BBQ, stove, oven or slow cooker—when you’ve got great Ontario beef, poultry, lamb and pork products, you can create just about anything.

Here are three easy, delicious fall meals your family will love—plus, a few prepared meal suggestions from the VG Meats’ kitchen! Enjoy.

Beef stew

There’s nothing like a bowl of rich, savoury beef stew that’s been simmered or slow-cooked to perfection. Start with our stewing beef and this great recipe, but feel free to add your own twist. A few extra root vegetables, your favourite herbs, some homemade bread (or store-bought rolls—anything goes). Pro tip: make a double batch so you can freeze individual portions for lunches or last-minute dinners!

Pork chops with apples

Ontario has some great produce, and local apples are some of the best you’ll ever bite into. This sweet and savoury pork dish tastes fancy but comes together in no time—plus, it only uses one pan! Here’s the recipe—we recommend using our pork rib chops or centre cut pork chops for best results.

Chicken thighs with root vegetables

Chicken thighs are tender, packed with flavour and easy on the budget—what’s not to love? They also cook fairly quickly and make great leftovers the next day. Here’s a simple recipe for roasted chicken thighs with parsnips, sweet potatoes and more. It’s a one-pan meal you’ll make over and over again! Yum.
