If your menu were a playlist, March would be the remix. Winter comfort still brings the hits, but guests are often ready for lighter, fresher builds that keep protein and flavor front-and-center.

Plate Like a Remix

Guests don’t need entirely new options, just a taste of familiar favorites with a nod to the seasonal shift. A versatile, fully cooked beef topping lets you do exactly that. Enter Roma® Fully Cooked Beef Toppings — individually quick frozen proteins designed for speed, consistency, and customization.

Start with winter staples like chili or baked pasta, then transition those same ingredients into lighter builds, such as grain bowls, flatbreads, or stuffed wraps and sandwiches. The versatility really is endless.

Remix Tip: Run one chili base and rework it into three menu placements from a single prep.

• Soup: Stretch your chili base with beef stock and fire-roasted tomatoes. Finish with lime, cumin, and smoked paprika, and top it with crispy Contigo® Tri-Color Tortilla Strips, avocado, and queso fresco.

• Pasta: Make a classic mac and cheese with the added bold flavors of beef and jalapeños, adding a spicy twist to the creamy cheese of this nostalgic favorite.

• Pizza: Craft a Roma Pizza Crust, then add beef topping, fresh spinach, and savory Havarti cheese, with marinated artichoke hearts, and feta over creamy Alfredo sauce.

One Ingredient, Every Daypart

Proteins that pull their weight across dayparts tend to earn a permanent place on the menu. With a 60 pieces-per-ounce crumble, Roma Beef Toppings work across formats without hijacking the plate, helping you utilize ingredients more efficiently.

• Breakfast: Beef, egg, and cheese breakfast flatbreads or omelets.

• Lunch: Taco bowls or salads.

• Dinner: Italian baked pastas or pizzas.

• Late Night: Loaded fries or nachos.

Because the product is fully cooked and individually quick frozen, it can be used straight from the freezer in the amounts you need, when you need them. There’s no advance thawing to plan around and no pressure to cook in large batches just to keep up.

For many kitchens, flexibility matters — especially when staffing and training are limited. The result is a more predictable process, from portioning and yield to prep and cook steps, that helps keep service moving without adding extra steps behind the line.

Beef It Up

The customization potential gives you room to make it your own. The flavor profile is intentionally neutral, with mild seasoning, making it a canvas rather than a commitment. Thanks to a proprietary impingement-oven cooking process using fresh meat, flavors stay sharp and savory, so the beef holds up as it’s layered in different applications.

That flexibility makes it easy to season and finish for various applications. Roma Beef Toppings can take on grill-style flavors for handhelds, lean into Italian herbs for pizza and pasta, or shift mild to spicy for Latin-style creations.

The toppings are an easy fix for international bowls, where sauces like chimichurri, harissa, or gochujang carry the flavor while the workflow stays the same. From fine crumble to hand-pinched styles, sizes range from 4/oz. portions to fine crumble blends — giving you control over cost and all the creativity!

Roma Fully Cooked Beef Toppings are the hits that help you balance the seasons, satisfy the public’s protein-forward demand, and simplify execution — all while changing the tune on endless cross-functional applications.
