Meats cooked with it occasionally
I believe the answer is:
at times
'occasionally' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meats cooked with it' is the wordplay.
'cooked with' is an anagram indicator.
'meats' with its letters mixed up with 'it' can make 'AT TIMES'.
(Other definitions for at times that I've seen before include "In the office" , "Every so often" , "employed by paper?" , "Where our editor is" , "Occasionally" .)
