Lloyd’s Makes Meal Fixing Easy

Rick Bonino Food Editor

Just because it’s barbecue season doesn’t mean you actually have to go outdoors and do some work to get results.

Lloyd’s, a Minnesota company known for its precooked barbecue ribs, has introduced 2-pound tubs of ready-to-heat shredded pork, beef and chicken in tangy barbecue sauce.

The Spokesman-Review’s reader food panel found the beef version quite to their liking. Then again, they’re used to having someone else do the cooking for them, anyway.
