A FABULOUS Meaty Dumpster Dive Haul!! 🥩🍖🥓

[@hopehammond6347]

I went to Aldi and found 2 cases of ground beef with 9 packs each. That was 18 packs at $12.50 each. I kept 1 case and gave the other to a friend. I find so much goid stuff and it really helps feed my family of 7. I also recently found about 25 frozen pizzas at Dollar General. So much waste!!

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

@hopehammond6347 I am thrilled you found so much that will help you feed your family. I hope the finds continue.

[@DumpsterCam]

What great finds! Savings for you and saving them from the landfill

[@robinbadura2226]

[@DumpsterCam]

So excited for you. That's a great find. I have two suggestions for the pork roast. I take those and cut them into chunks, season for Mexican flavored meat. Spread them on parchment paper on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven. About 325 degrees is good. After they have cooked, I either shred them by hand, or use my food processor. We use this for tacos, enchiladas and burritos. The other way is to season the meat for BBQ flavored and after it's cooked, shred it, mix with BBQ sauce and make BBQ sandwiches. I do this when my local grocery has pork roast on sale for 99 cents a pound. Pork on its own doesn't have a lot of flavor, so you have to season pretty heavily. It also freezes well after it's been cooked and doesn't take up as much room in your freezer as the raw meat does.

[@alohamom2380]

Two of my favorite small appliances are my Ninja Foodi and my Insta Pot. For the top round beef, you might consider roast with carrots and potatoes (which I'm sure you'll find on a future dive!), Beef Stroganoff (there's your heavy whipping cream!), and a family favorite Beef Curry (again with carrots and potatoes). It's cold here in the PNW and I have a thing for comfort foods. So glad to see you posting again; you and all the girls were missed!

[@zandracrisp6438]

If I wasn't so old i be doing that.. good for you 😊 I'm so happy for you..

[@dianenolting2622]

Wowzer!!! What an amazing haul especially the meat 😊🎉❤

[@Nwladylaura369]

Spectacular Haul! Just in time for the Holiday. 🎄

[@lisapack4906]

Cook the roast in a crock pot with garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. The heavy whipping cream and butter make fantastic mashed potatoes. You can also use the cream in coffee and hot chocolate.

[@CarleneBaldwin-f5y]

And you can make cream sauce and Alfredo using the heavy cream

[@DumpsterCam]

I have one of the roasts in the crock pot now! Already smells great 😊

[@savvycrafter8518]

Awesome. The heavy cream is great to make your own butter. Just make sure its room temperature before starting to whip it.

[@rebeccawebster3556]

Wow, what a haul! I hit the Aldi dumpster the other day & got butter & a large beef roast also. And I got eggs, clementines, the biggest head of broccoli, and blueberries. I am transitioning my dogs over to real food, so they will get the beef, eggs, brocc & berries. Getting more food out of their dumpster now is the only thing that makes me happy it's winter, lol!! 😂❤

[@jillmedley259]

You go girl 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@rakamas]

Oh my gosh, MEAT!!! 😂❤

[@Bella-p8v]

Im involved with a children's home in South Africa. For us this would be an unbelievably generous donation...meat is always at a premium...to see this as a discard is just unbelievable! Kudos to you!

[@DumpsterCam]

Even after 10 years of dumpster diving, the waste is still astounding, it just never makes sense

[@yraydahernandez7713]

So happy your back. Great dumpster haul, congrats ❤

[@breathelori]

Great find!

[@Mulva_]

Nice find Cam!

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

SANDWICHES!!!😆

[@lindastewart8815]

Glad your back great haul I'm to old to dumpster dive hope your Dad's doing good God Bless you

[@DumpsterCam]

He's doing great, thank you!!

[@TeresaTifor2]

Amazing haul! I have a Nuwave countertop oven and I cook a lot of meat in that and can cook it from frozen. It cooks perfectly! TFS Doll and hope all is well ❤️🌹

[@justgoodness333littlehomes5]

Regarding the beef. I cut it in cubes and season it with a beef boullion powder and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I pressure can it the next morning in raw pack method. I also make single meals of cubed potatoes in the bottom of the jar and beef at the top and I can it that way with just enough water to cover the potatoes in the jar.

[@TheBaitShoppe-CrumpTN]

Wow, awesome lucky lady!

[@eileensolberg7007]

I see a grilled ham and cheese sandwich in your future. ;)

[@DumpsterCam]

It's like the dumpster made my meal plan for me!

[@Starstuddedgarden]

I like to make butter when I find heavy cream on manager's special. Just put it in a jar and keep shaking. The butter milk will separate.

[@JenniferTaul-le7sk]

So much stuff. Good for you

[@melissabraam8359]

Amazing find!

[@jrae6608]

Nice haul. Advantage to being cold

[@DumpsterCam]

So true! Winter dumpster diving is the best

[@teresautterback1492]

So glad you're back, Cam! What an awesome haul. Great variety. All the meat!!!

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you!

[@lindag5733]

That's a fantastic haul! Aldi is awesome for dumpster diving and I think that Lidl is my favorite. God bless.

[@DumpsterCam]

I hate the waste they produce, but I'm always happy to rescue it

[@georgiaswangin9225]

So glad to have you back

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you 😊

[@amyerion9710]

Fantastic haul.

[@lisaknepp3352]

What great finds, it’s awesome for you

[@betsyowings2985]

Crockpot and cook it all day ❤❤. Nice to see you again

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

When I did eat meat, that's how I would always cook a red meat... In the crockpot. So tender.

[@DumpsterCam]

I have one of the roasts in the crock pot now, hoping it turns out well 😁

[@horrisajones8933]

Great finds tfs

[@MzzMonicaM]

Thanks for sharing your good finds.

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

The Dumpster Gods have been kind.

[@pennynickels5216]

Oh, Cam, I saw someone canning butter on ut! Would never have thought of that. Sure would help those of us with tiny freezers. Must have butter at all times! 😂

[@Linda-in9ns]

Good job!! 👏

[@justMe-fp8pg]

🎉🎉 Yay Cam!

[@kathleengould6223]

Nice score!!!

[@fortheloveofgod7739]

If you want a roast that falls apart in your mouth use a crock pot add a can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 pack of french onion soup mix. Let it cook 8 hours take out the roast and crumble ginger snap cookies in the juices and let it cook 10 to 15 minutes more. Put the roast back in and serve with mashed potatoes. My family cannot get enough of it honestly.

[@lorettalouvros207]

AMAZING!! I would be good for meat until next summer with that haul!! 😂❤👏👏👏👏 Awesome !! I’m so happy for you!!

[@georgiafloyd1079]

God blessed you❤

[@confusedbutinspired8675]

You can pressure can the beef too

[@samwright8599]

I love spinach 🎉🎉🎉

[@CarleneBaldwin-f5y]

Make creamed spinach with the heavy cream

[@DumpsterCam]

I had that same thought as well, yum!

[@joannf6286]

Whoa! Good for you.

[@jrae6608]

You can pressure can all the meat. Smoked pork is great, use liquid smoke

[@DumpsterChicks]

Such a nice haul. We missed you! We’re so glad your dad is doing well. Have a great holiday season!

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you guys! Hoping all is well, Happy Holidays to you both 🤗

[@brendamcclellan1016]

One of those big roasts would cost $48 where I live wow good find. 😊

[@georgiafloyd1079]

Yeah🎉

[@christieburke8393]

Last night my husband and I found 2 unopened cases of skinless salmon fillets, case of family pack skinless chicken breast, 5 whole Perdue chickens, 3 family size chicken thighes, 5 1/2 pound container hamburger meat, 2 1/2 container of hamburger meat, case of chicken tenders and a case of regular skinless chicken breast. Total of it all came to about $430.00.

[@ninjanana102]

Congratulations!! 😊

[@darrelldavis-bm1xm]

You can use some of the beef for Swiss steak, pot roast etc. just remember low and slow cooking. Amazing score!

[@lorita3488]

Harold's favorite - SWISS STEAK From the Kitchen of: Alderson Family Favorite Meals Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped 1 1/2 lbs. round steak 2 Tbsp. shortening or oil 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. flour 1/4 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Recipe instructions: Cut meat into serving size pieces. Mix flour, salt, pepper and chili powder. Pound into steak using meat mallet to tenderise. Recipe instructions: Brown in hot fat. Drain excess fat. Add other ingredients, cover and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until very tender. Serve over rice or noodles.

[@LEAHDANIELSONLOVESDOGS]

Nice find there!!

[@M.M-f9i]

You can make some goulash with that beef. Or if you have some beef chunks with more fat on it, you can mince it and then make pasta sauce or taco stuffing. You can also cut it into strips and put it into burito. 😊

[@PennyMeeker-j8m]

Round roast taste great cooked in crock pot. An easy way is one package of onion soup mix, braze it first then add one pkg of mix and over top of roast and 3rd or half cup of water and cook on low all day. I do not use. How I do it is Braze the roast after you salt pepper, and add spices to it like garlic, etc. once brown throw in crock pot, then I add Worchester sauce to taste, rub mustard all over it, and horse radish, then again spices I like and add rosemary. Cut up and onion in thin sliced rings and separate them into rings than put on top. Put lid on it and cook from early morning until suppertime. Could also throw in instant pot. Can add carrots and potatoes to it too to bottom. The onion gravy mix taste great with diced potatoes on bottom. Leftovers become pot pie or soup, Shepard pie, creamed beef and gravy over potatoes, stew, roast beef with peppers for sandwiches, or B-que sandwiches add onion, peppers cook on low 3-4 hours in crock pot or on top of stove on low after shredding the beef with a fork. Can add beef, peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers slices and tomatoes cut up or canned drained, add 1 package of fajita seasoning cook on low all day or 4 hrs on high. Put on flour Torita's with sour cream and Alvacado. All can be cooked in oven until meat is done too. You have tons of meals with one cooked pot roast. Peace!

[@DumpsterCam]

I have one in the crock pot now, thank you!

[@kathyweber6844]

❤

[@maryg9329]

I would look on line for recipes and cooking meats

[@noranalu5669]

Yay, I am so happy for you all the meat Yess.

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

OMG... what an AWESOME haul!! I saw all that pork roast and immediately thought of Cubano Sandwiches. What is in real Cubano? The combination of flavorful, juicy pulled pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and Cuban bread makes this dish an undeniable hit. Although versions vary, the essential ingredient is the roasted pork, traditionally marinated in a mojo sauce redolent with orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin.Sep 15, 2024 I have never made this and I don't eat meat, but I think I watched about 50 videos on how to make it. Enjoy your bounty. xo

[@DumpsterCam]

Donna, that sounds delicious! Thank you for researching that, I'll give it a try 😊

[@chars.9780]

You could always make a vegan version by making a seitan version of the pork and then use the traditional seasonings to flavor it.

[@dorothyrowzee3622]

They make good pulled pork and that can be frozen

[@bonnieyoung4037]

Score!!!!!

[@monkeeblue]

Round roast is one of my faves to pressure can! I'd be canning it!

[@DumpsterCam]

Ok great, I will can some of that as well!

[@dorothyrowzee3622]

Crock pot best and easiest way for meata

[@denised5733]

You could treat those two pork roast things whatever that is as I do pork butt when I find pork but I put it in the oven overnight at about 200 to 2:25 for minimum 12 hours with whatever seasoning you like it comes out so tender and then you can pull it apart as pulled pork and freeze it in smaller bags The round steak you could cut into stew meat size I think it's pretty self-explanatory after that...

[@MollysBlooms]

Invest in a crockpot for your beef and pork roasts. Just put them in the crockpot with some potatoes and carrots and add some chicken or beef broth, cook on high 5-6 hours and bam! Delicious and easy dinner.

[@avnerrlacardey7451]

Can we have a home tour, its been a min :)

[@DumpsterCam]

Yes! I can try to do that soon!

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

Grill roast in skillet cut in pieces. Oven roast them cook and warm Apt at the same time

[@sarahgoodwin3337]

I love canning pork. It's similar to the chicken. But somethings it's not as good to make after. I love using it for pulled porch sandwiches, it's perfect after being canned!

[@christyv4125]

If you are going to be doing some pressure canning, that beef could be canned also. I can alot of beef like that for beef stew, enchiladas, shepards pie..etc.

[@DumpsterCam]

Awesome, I will do that as well!

[@francisjohnson304]

Pulled pork.bbq Put the beef roast in a crockpot with a cup of water envelope of onion soup & carrots .

[@francisjohnson304]

Beef jerky

[@gladyserrickson9592]

WOW!!!!! All that meat the top around roast are so gr8 jut for my husband n i am cut them in half same with the chicken breast pork roast not to crazy about but man you can cut them in 4’s or in 6’s for yourself or just do what you pressure cook them but real nice find

[@madonnagirdley5313]

Where in Michigan, I’m in Livonia

[@greywolf2357]

Make some beef jerky with a couple of those top round steaks.

[@monkeeblue]

That's a great idea! Round roast makes excellent jerky as it's so lean.

[@DumpsterCam]

I was thinking of that! I'll look into how to do that

[@karenblackwell1577]

[@darlenechandler7734]
