What’s for Dinner Tonight? 15 Easy Kroger Meals You Can Make with One Sauce

What’s for dinner tonight? Start with Kroger groceries and one really good sauce.

We’ve all asked it: What’s for dinner tonight?

Sometimes you have chicken but no plan. Sometimes you have pasta but no energy. Sometimes you’re scrolling your Kroger app, staring into your fridge, or trying to build a quick pickup order before the day gets away from you.

The easiest answer is not always another complicated recipe. Sometimes dinner just needs a shortcut that makes everyday ingredients taste like something special.

That’s where Le Sauce &b Co. comes in.

Le Sauce gourmet sauces and gravies are made to help you take simple Kroger ingredients — like rotisserie chicken, ground beef, frozen vegetables, pasta, potatoes, rice, steak bites, pork chops, or roasted vegetables — and turn them into a comforting, craveable meal in minutes.

For Kroger shoppers looking for easy dinner ideas, three Le Sauce flavors are especially helpful to keep in the cart:

Roasted Chicken Gourmet Gravy for chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted carrots, rice bowls, and cozy comfort meals.
Beefy French Onion Gourmet Gravy for steak bites, burgers, meatballs, roast beef, pork, potatoes, noodles, and rich, savory dinners.
Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce for pasta, shrimp, chicken, vegetables, potatoes, bread, rice, and almost anything that tastes better with garlic butter.
