There are a few pantry staples that Icannotlive without.

For example, a 28-ounce can sells for $4.99 at my local Kroger.

But Iespeciallylove using them because they add an extra depth of flavor to everything I make.

So when I spotted them for $2 at the Dollar Tree, I stocked up!

So when the price is slightly higher, the product is especially noteworthy.

Why I Love Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Their flavor is their primary selling point.

It feels worth it in the moment, but the process takes over an hour.

A can of Muir Glen is the shortcut.

And there isn’t any prep work or roasting pans to clean up afterward.

(Sometimes, that’s the real selling point.)

I also love their texture.

Plus, they’re organic, which is a really nice bonus.

But there isn’t a shortage of ways to use them.
