Top-Rated Recipes
Costco Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
Costco Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup
Homemade chicken noodle soup in under 40 minutes sounds too good to be true, but starting with a Costco rotisserie chicken makes it completely real. You skip the hours of simmering raw chicken by using already-cooked, already-seasoned meat and adding the carcass to the broth for extra depth. The result tastes like something that's been on the stove all day.
Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta with Costco Kirkland Shrimp
Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta with Costco Kirkland Shrimp
Garlic butter shrimp pasta is one of the fastest legitimate dinners you can make. Costco's Kirkland frozen shrimp thaws quickly, cooks in 3 minutes, and absorbs butter and garlic beautifully. Tossed with linguine and a splash of white wine or pasta water, it comes together in one pan with almost no effort and looks impressive every time.
Chicken Parmesan with Rao's Marinara (Costco Ingredients)
Chicken Parmesan with Rao's Marinara (Costco Ingredients)
Chicken Parmesan is one of the most satisfying Italian-American dishes, and the quality of the marinara makes a dramatic difference. Rao's Homemade from Costco eliminates the need for hours of sauce prep — its slow-cooked depth tastes like something your nonna made, not something that came from a jar. Pair it with crispy, properly breaded chicken and the result is genuinely restaurant-quality.
Costco Italian Sausage and Gnocchi Skillet
Costco Italian Sausage and Gnocchi Skillet
This one-pan sausage and gnocchi skillet is the kind of recipe that becomes a weeknight staple the first time you make it. The Costco Italian sausage is rich and deeply seasoned, the gnocchi soaks up the creamy tomato sauce as it cooks, and the whole thing comes together in 30 minutes with almost no cleanup. It's a complete dinner from a single pan.
Sheet Pan Costco Chicken Thighs with Potatoes and Green Beans
Sheet Pan Costco Chicken Thighs with Potatoes and Green Beans
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best cut for sheet pan dinners. They're nearly impossible to overcook, the skin gets crispy and golden in the oven, and the rendered fat drips down to baste the vegetables underneath. Costco sells them in large packs that are ideal for this recipe — make a full pan for dinner and pack the leftovers for lunch.
Costco Chicken Meal Prep Bowls
Costco Chicken Meal Prep Bowls
The best meal prep starts with Costco's rotisserie chicken. It's already cooked, already seasoned, and yields four cups of shredded meat that goes directly into containers. Pair with rice, a roasted vegetable, and a sauce that keeps well — and you have five complete meals that taste good through Friday. This is the recipe that makes a Costco membership pay for itself in real time.
What Can You Make With Costco Ingredients?
A lot more than you think. The $4.99 rotisserie chicken alone covers a week of dinners — enchiladas on Monday, tacos on Tuesday, fried rice on Wednesday, soup by Thursday. Kirkland shrimp goes from freezer to table in 25 minutes. Rao's marinara turns a jar of sauce into something that tastes like you cooked all day.
