What a Dish-covery! 4 Out-Of-This-World HoneyBaked Ham Dishes Worth Trying

At HoneyBaked Ham Douglasville we may be well-known for our holiday entrees and our superb lunch selection, but we're special in other ways too (did you know?!).

For example, we have wonderful catered lunch delivery options... and we even have a huge selection of hassle-free heat & serve sides everyone at the dinner table is sure to enjoy!

Here are 4 of our favorite out-of-this-world dishes worth trying for a PDQ (pretty darn quick) dinner spread everyone will swear you made yourself... from scratch!

1. Heat & Serve Sides Broccoli Rice Casserole
If you're the head chef at your household, you may also concede that you can't just serve up meat alone to your family at suppertime. We usually need to prepare a veggie and a starch option too, right? Well here's a great way to roll the two into one--with our hearty Broccoli Rice Casserole. It'll save you time in the kitchen and bring a smile to everyone's face at the dinner table!

2. Heat & Serve Sides: Sweet Potato Souffle
Serving up spuds for a meal can sometimes be the most daunting part of cooking... because they seem to take so long to prepare. Well here's an easy way out that's oh-so-delicious: our Sweet Potato Souffle. Simply heat, serve and enjoy the buttery cinnamon flavors of whipped yams sprinkled with brown sugar, walnuts & pecans. Mmmmmmm!

3. Decadent Desserts: Red Velvet Cake
There's an old legend out there that says Red Velvet Cake originated from the ever-famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York (it was a chef's special recipe). As the recipe leaked into the public across the U.S. during the 1920s, it made its way to the hands of our culinary experts at HoneyBaked Ham...and now this boldly colored indulgence can be the star at your dinner table without headaches of baking all day and carefully icing it afterward. That in itself is a terrific treat (aside from a big slice of our moist Red Velvet Cake), wouldn't you agree?! 

4. Decadent Desserts: Cheesecake Sampler
We know it's hard to please everyone at the dinner table, especially when it comes to satisfying the sweet tooth of every family member. That's why our Cheesecake Sampler is an ideal dessert-- Each whole, creamy delight features 4 rich & silky types of cheesecake to choose from: Hot Fudge, Strawberry Swirl, Turtle & Traditional Vanilla (Turtle is our favorite)!

So there you have it... 4 of our products you should definitely sink your teeth into (if you haven't tried them already). Your taste buds will thank you, and so will your dinner attendees!
