I have partnered with Bourbon Brothers to review the entrees and share my thoughts with you here.   As a busy household of five, mealtime can be a chore, so it’s nice to have these restaurant-quality meat entrees available for a quick weeknight meal.

My family loved all of the meals we sampled.  Their favorite meals were the pork Chile verde, followed by the BBQ pulled pork and BBQ pulled chicken, the cajun style chicken, the marsala chicken then the Yucatan pork.   We were impressed at how much flavor each entree contained with minimal processing and super clean ingredients, with nothing artificial in the packaging, and ease of preparation.

How to Prepare Bourbon Brothers Meat Entrees

To prepare the meat entrees, simply remove the paperboard sleeve from the tray and microwave with the plastic film for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.  The film inflates while cooking, helping the meat steam in the packaging so that it does not dry out.  Remove the film, stir and enjoy.  Southern cooking in a matter of minutes with slow roasted flavors that taste like you’ve been smoking the meats all day.

The meat entrees are available in all Safeway stores in the Denver Division and can be found in the meat case with the prepared meats and heat and eat side dishes.  The entrees retail for $7.99, and they are on sale for $6.99 through August 4th, which is a great value for the 14 oz package which contains 4.5 3 oz servings.  I was able to serve 4 sandwiches and tacos out of each package.
