This gift set is pretty amazing. For starters, everything comes in a large tin shaped like a can of Redpack tomatoes. When you open it up you see a pool of red confetti packing material made to simulate a can full of sauce. As you dig through you'll find two cans of tomatoes, a can opener, a mini spatula, a pasta server, a pizza cutter and Redpack magnets.
Redpack will ship an identical gift set to the winner of this giveaway. Pretty sweet, huh?

Honestly, my favorite recipe using canned tomatos is chili using the McCormick chili seasoning mix. It's so so good and so east to make! The recipe calls for 2 cans of tomato sauce.
ReplyDeleteI make alot of pasta so we tend to go through many cans of crushed tomatoes in thise household :)
ReplyDeleteI love using canned tomatoes in soups and stews. I use them constantly in these types of recipes throughout the winter months.
ReplyDeleteI probably most often use diced tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up, my momma made us a lot of tomatoes cooked with onions, served over rice. It's still my favorite dish with canned tomatoes! Served with some ham steak or meatloaf on the side! Doesn't get any better!
ReplyDeleteI use whole canned tomatoes most often while cooking.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is canned diced tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteI mix diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, & puree to make pizza sauce for our weekly pizza night.

ReplyDeleteI love Redpack!! I use them for making my salsa! I use fresh when i have the time but the diced tomatoes taste the same as fresh in my canned salsa.

My favorite recipe using canned tomatoes is pepper steak. I finish it off with diced tomatoes and tomato paste every time.
ReplyDeleteI like using whole canned tomatoes for pastas. It just tastes better for some reason!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite recipe using canned tomatoes would almost by default have to be my marinara I make with my meatballs or chicken parm. I always used canned crushed for that. You can find it here:

For most often, though, it's probably a tie between crushed and sauce, since I so often use sauce for Indian dishes or my Spanish rice.

ReplyDeletecanned tomato "recipe" is one i've made up:
ReplyDeletesaute chopped onions in garlic and olive oil until translucent, add canned artichokes, add bag of thawed frozen California style veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), add peeled/deveined shrimp and a can of diced seasoned tomatoes (basil, oregano and garlic). Add some italian seasoning, mix well, and simmer until shrimp is cooked.
Toss with cheese tortellini - grate a little fresh parm over it and serve!

ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I don't know if I can pick a favorite! This is a recent soup I made, and it pairs the tomatoes with smoked paprika for a very deep flavor in a short amount of time...
