The Hidden Gems You Can Find Among Costco's Premade Foods

Stuffed Peppers

Costco's stuffed red, orange, and yellow bell peppers feature rice, veggies, and sausage. Fillings include ground beef, tomato paste, mozzarella, and provolone.
The Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is what really gives the dish an extra salty flavor along with a crispy crust. It comes with six pepper halves and is easy to reheat.

Meatballs

These precooked meatballs made of beef and pork come alongside cooked pasta generously coated in marinara sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Cut the meatballs and mix them in with the noodles and sauce for a quick meal, or serve them in a hearty dish over the pasta and sauce for a show-stopping entree.

Salmon Milano

Salmon Milano is essentially salmon prepared with butter and herbs. Costco uses excellent quality salmon, and the herbs make it extra flavorful.
Thanks to the omega-3s in the large salmon portion, this is one of Costco's healthier premade options. However, like most fish, it does not reheat that well.
