Red Gold Tomato Products Review & Prize Pack Giveaway!

Pin It

A good harvest begins with strong roots, and Red Gold can trace theirs back three generations. Red Gold began in 1942 when Grover Hutcherson and his daughter, Fran, rebuilt a Midwest cannery to provide fresh-tasting canned food products for the war effort. More than half a century later, they remain a family-owned business based in the heart of Tomato Country.

Red Gold is a private, family owned Indiana-based company around since the '40s focused on growing local in the Midwest  (Michigan, Ohio, & Indiana) where true seasons impact the flavor of tomatoes (the winters are important for the tomato soil).

I was invited to a review of Red Gold tomato products &of course, I accepted. I could always use new ideas for cooking!

I received this kit in the mail 

A bottle of ketchup, 4 assorted cans of tomatoes, recipe cards, a nice BIG tote bag. a magnet & a very nice recipe book.
I searched the recipe book & found one that sounded absolutely delish...AND IT WAS! :) There were many to choose from, unfortunately for me, my kids refuse to eat tomatoes so I had to weed out the ones that are too "tomatoey". 

Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it out yourself....

Ham & Tomato Rice Supper
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins


2 cups cooked ham strips
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 (14.5 oz) can Red Gold Diced Tomatoes Roasted Garlic & Onion
1 1/2 cups instant rice
8 oz processed American cheese (Velveeta), cubed

*Combine the ham, broccoli and undrained Red Gold Tomatoes Roasted Garlic & Onion in a large skillet & mix well. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in rice & cheese.

*Remove the skillet from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 7 minutes. Stir until cheese melts. Serve with apple wedges.

*Note- Yields differ between regular rice & instant rice. One cup of uncooked regular rice equals 3 cups cooked, and 1 cup of instant rice equals 2 cups cooked. Instant rice must be used in this recipe because of the amount of liquid in the recipe & length of cooking time.

What a super simple meal. I loved it & so did the kids, they hardly noticed the tomatoes. :) I highly recommend it!

I would love to try their Medium Salsa since there is no high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate or other harmful ingredients. It's hard to find salsas without MSG, believe me!!

A super simple recipe that I make for a side at dinner is roasted tomatoes. I just get cherry or grape tomatoes, slice in half, coat with a little olive oil and salt to taste. Bake at 350ºF for about 30 minutes. SOOOOOO yummy!! We are all tomato lovers here though :o)
