The Little League World Series is taking place in Williamsport PA, and I’m proud to say that Beef, It’s What’s for Dinner, on behalf of beef farmers and ranchers, is partnering with Little League Baseball and Softball for the 3rd year as the “Official Sponsor of the Perfect Home Plate”.

Young athletes need nutritious food that fuels physical growth, and mental focus. Beef is a hero - it delivers high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins that support both physical and mental performance.

Two "back to sports" recipes to try:
Beef Brisket Taquitos: take last night's brisket, toss it with a few simple ingredients and air fry for an easy and delicious fingerfood to fill hungry bellies before the game.

One Pot Lasagna Pasta: a super simple yet comforting dinner where everything gets tossed in the same pot, baked, and makes for the perfect cozy dinner to come home to after practice.
