Betty Crocker Ultimate Helper review and giveaway #ad #myblogspark

Disclosure:  I was provided with free samples to facilitate this review, as well as a gift pack.  Both were provided by Betty Crocker through MyBlogSpark.

Ultimate Three Cheese Marinara

Betty Crocker has recently launched new some new products that will make dinner time easy and delicious.   At my house, Thursday nights are hard for dinner since I have so little time to get everyone fed and to their activities.

I strive to make it the easiest dinner night of the week!  Ideally, I like to spend a half hour or less on preparing the meal so that there's time to eat it at the table instead of on the run.  I definitely don't want to find dinner plates in my minivan!  It has to be fast, easy, and something the kids enjoy eating.

 

 

Time to add the noodles!

There are several Ultimates varieties available, including four helpers:

• Ultimate Hamburger Helper Stroganoff

• Ultimate Chicken Helper Creamy Parmesan

• Ultimate Helper Cheddar Broccoli

• Ultimate Helper Three Cheese Marinara
•  

And three Ultimates potatoes products:

• Ultimate Betty Crocker Loaded Mashed Potatoes

• Ultimate Betty Crocker Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

• Ultimate Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes 

What my family thought:  Since I couldn't try it myself since the Helper wasn't gluten free, I quizzed my family on what they thought of the taste.  Both kids gave the Three Cheese Marinara a thumbs up.  My husband did too... after I hastily mixed in the cheese pouch that I'd forgotten in my haste to get hot food on the table fast.  After he mixed in the cheese, he liked it a lot more!   We'll file that into the "oops" file!  The true test is if they want me to make it again...  and they all said yes.
