October 16, 2011

Tim Hortons Canada has introduced Beef Lasagna Casserole bowls. Made with tomato sauce, ground beef, lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, basil, oregano and garlic, this 10 oz. pasta to-go option is served with garlic toast for $4.49.

"Whether Canadians are looking for a hearty hot lunch or a convenient dinner on the way home from work, Tim Hortons' new Beef Lasagna Casserole offers the comfort of a warm home-style meal, available to enjoy in our restaurants and in the drive-thru," said Donna Finelli, director of Brand Marketing for food at Tim Hortons. "This is also a great new nourishing alternative to typical fast food fare, like burgers and fries."

Tim Hortons' new Beef Lasagna Casserole is an extension of the company's hot bowl category, including soups and chili, which was introduced 1985.

"Last year alone, our guests enjoyed more than 63 million bowls of soup, making this an important segment of our business," Finelli said. "As the hot bowl leader, our guests told us that pasta was a natural extension for us."

A regular 10 oz. serving of Beef Lasagna Casserole has 280 calories, provides 13 grams of protein and delivers a source of iron and a source of fiber.
