Glory Foods~ The Taste Of Dallas & Recipe Review

July 2, 2014

I buy canned goods all the time. I usually stock up on them each week when I go to the grocery store.  I buy my local HEB brand Hill Country Fare. I have been using this brand for years. 

I have seen the Glory Foods canned goods in the stores but have never tried them before now.I received the opportunity to review  the Glory Foods brand this week.  I made my weekly trip to the store yesterday morning before  going to my sisters to visit.  I purchased five cans of Glory Foods canned goods. Green Beans 
With New Potatoes, Spinach, Lima Beans and  Collard Greens filled my basket. I was excited about trying  this brand in my appetizer recipe.


So I decided after much thought of creating a recipe using the canned spinach. I wanted something quick and easy. With the 4th of July holiday approaching, I wanted to create a recipe that is party  and kid friendly. You can certainly  use mixed greens or kale for this recipe. My family preferred the
spinach so this is what we used for the recipe.

This is my recipe for Spinach Cream Cheese Applewood Smoked Bacon Roll Ups  

2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
One  8 oz container of chive 
whipped cream cheese
One 27 oz can  Glory Foods Spinach drained and pressed
One  7 oz container of diced onion
1/2 pound of Applewood Smoked Bacon cooked crisp
pinch of garlic salt(optional)
 One 7 oz container diced yellow, green and red bell peppers
One  8 oz package of Shredded Extra Sharp  White Cheddar
3 to 4 packages of Mission Wraps~ Spinach and Jalapeno Cheddar Flavor

Directions: Brown bacon in large skillet until crispy. Drain
bacon fat, leaving one tablespoon in large skillet. Saute
onion and diced peppers until vegetables cook down and
turn slightly brown. Add  a pinch of garlic salt.

To food processor pulse peppers and bacon until just incorporated.
In large bowl combine cream  cheese until smooth. Add spinach
 pepper and bacon mixture. Blend well. 
Spread mixture on Mission Wraps and Sprinkle with extra sharp white shredded cheddar cheese. Wrap in plastic
wrap or put in a covered container to chill in fridge about an hour. Slice into pinwheels and serve with your favorite salsa.

 This was a hit at my sisters house. All the kids loved it. We devoured this appetizer as fast as it took to make.  I love the Glory Foods brand and will continue  to buy them.I love good old fashioned southern food. I love butter beans and green beans with new potatoes. But the problem with most 
canned vegetables is the bland taste.  This is not the case  at all with this brand. I was amazed of the taste of the Green Beans. They are
delicious. I  tried them out when I got home from my sisters house for dinner.
