Double Smoked Back Bacon
Cooked Peameal Bacon
We take our Back Bacon to the smokehouse, where it is
smoked for hours with a natural hardwood to give it a
unique and irresistible taste. It has 20% meat protein and
85% less fat than regular side bacon.
We are very proud of our Original Peameal Bacon. A Lou’s
tradition and passion since 1990, our bacon is low in fat and
sodium and high in protein and taste. This Canadian icon is
cured then rolled in a ground cornmeal and sliced to make it
simple for frying, grilling or baking, eh!

Lou’s BBQ Chicken Wrap
Serves 4
Ingredients:
400 grams Lou’s BBQ Chicken
4 x 10 inch wraps – white or whole wheat - your
choice
1 cup cooked rice – lightly seasoned with salt, pepper,
cumin and chili powder
4 oz. fresh spinach leaves - optional
1 cup cooked black beans
4 oz. shredded cheese
4 oz. chopped tomato
Method:
Take the wrap and lay out on a board. Place ¼
cup of rice in the centre of each wrap, followed
by ¼ cup of the beans. Place 100 grams (3.5
oz.) of Lou’s BBQ Chicken on top of the beans
followed by 1 oz. each of the cheese, spinach
and diced tomatoes. Fold the right and left sides
of the wrap into the middle. Fold the side facing
you over the top of the two folded in sides and
roll into a tube. Place the wrap seam side down
into a hot frying pan for 2 minutes and then roll
over to heat the other side for an additional 2
minutes. Serve hot.
Curry Beef and Rice

Ingredients:
400 grams Lou’s Pot Roast – with the gravy – cut into

2 oz. Curry mix – your choice on brand – and heat
2 oz. chopped tomatoes
1 oz. vegetable oil
1 cup cooked rice – jasmine
Fresh cilantro sprigs for garnish
Method:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch

then cool in a cold water bath. In a large frying
pan heat the oil and sauté the peppers and
onions. Add the broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes.
Toss well, and add in the beef, the curry mix and
the gravy. If the sauce is a little stiff add a small

adjust the seasoning. Serve over rice, garnished
with cilantro.

TMF Foods Supports the FCC Drive Away Hunger Campaign
TMF Foods is proud to be supporting the 2015 Farm Credit Canada Drive Away Hunger Campaign. Over the last
three years, TMF has donated over 1,622,369 pounds ($620,952.14) of Ready Made Meals and Peameal Bacon
to local Food Banks throughout the Ontario Area.
For over 30 years, TMF Foods Ltd., home of the Lou’s Barbeque line of fully cooked entrées and Peameal Bacon
of Canada Ltd., has taken an active role in the community making large product donations at various times
throughout the year to help those less fortunate.
In order to distribute this large food donations across Ontario, TMF has partnered with the FCC (Farm Credit
Canada). FCC Drive Away Hunger began in 2004 when an employee in Ontario organized a local tractor tour.
The food donations were collected from his local community as a way to give back and help food banks serve
people in need. Since then, the FCC Drive Away Hunger has grown dramatically with 9.2 million pounds of food
and $760,000 collected to date right across the country.
“To date, the FCC has collected more than 17 million pounds of food through FCC Drive Away Hunger”, said
Greg Stewart, FCC President and CEO. “Hunger is an issue that affects many families in rural Canada. FCC Drive
Away Hunger is one of the ways we give back to the rural communities where our customers and employees
live and work”, noting that hunger touches nearly 850,000 Canadians each month, many of whom are children.
FCC Drive Away Hunger is the largest employee-led food drive in Canada. It involves driving a tractor and
trailer through various communities to collect food and cash donations for
food banks across the country.
This year, the FCC Drive Away Hunger Campaign has provided over 5.2 million
meals to Food Banks across Canada.
