More Than a Meal: A Look Inside Beehive Meals' Family Dinner

More Than a Meal: A Look Inside Beehive Meals' Family Dinner

At Beehive Meals, we believe a good meal has a way of bringing people together. And that doesn’t just apply to the families we serve. It applies to our own team, too!

Every month, our team gathers for Family Dinner, where we get to sit down together, enjoy some of our meals on the upcoming menu, and try new ways to serve them. It’s one of our favorite ways to connect as a team, share ideas, and get an inside look at the food we’re making for families across the country.

But Family Dinner is about more than what’s on our plates. It’s also an important part of how we continue to improve our meals, gather feedback, and maintain the quality you expect from Beehive.


A Taste of Our October Menu

For October’s Family Dinner, we took three meals from our monthly menus and gave them a little something extra. Here’s what we tried!

Pork Pozole Soup with All the Toppings

A warm bowl of soup is always a good idea, especially when you can make it your own! We served our October Pork Pozole Soup with sliced radishes, chopped white onion, chopped cilantro, tortilla strips, cotija cheese and a lime wedge for a flavorful combination of textures and toppings.

It was a fun way to enjoy one of our Soup menu favorites and see how a few simple additions can make a meal feel even more special.

Sloppy Joe Sliders: A Classic Done Right

Sometimes, the simplest meals are the ones everyone looks forward to most. Our October Flat Top Sloppy Joes were a reminder that the classics deserve a place at the dinner table.

We served them on mini slider buns with pickles and coleslaw on the side for an easy, crowd-pleasing twist on a familiar favorite. No complicated extras needed. Just a comforting meal that brings everyone together.

Add a little nostalgia to your dinner table. Our Sloppy Joes are featured on the October Flat Top menu!

Apricot Chicken Crostinis with a Little Something Extra

For a different take on our October Classic Apricot Chicken, we turned it into crostinis topped with mascarpone cheese, pumpkin seeds, balsamic glaze, and fresh parsley.

The creamy cheese, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and sweet-and-tangy glaze brought a new combination of flavors and textures to the table. It was a fun way to experiment with a familiar menu item and discover another way to enjoy it.

Why Family Dinner Matters

Of course, the food is a big part of what makes Family Dinner fun. But what happens around the table matters just as much.

Getting our team together gives us time to connect outside of our usual day-to-day responsibilities. It creates opportunities to share ideas, have conversations, and hear different perspectives from the people who help bring Beehive Meals to life.

It’s also a chance to put our meals to the test. Trying different variations helps us explore new serving ideas, gather feedback when needed, and share insights with our Research and Development team. Those conversations help us evaluate our food and continue looking for ways to make our meals even better.

When the people who work on our meals get to sit down and enjoy them together, it creates a valuable opportunity to learn from one another and stay connected to the product we’re making.
