Four Pounds Of Burger! NINE Meals!

[@BeanIrene]

I've been watching you for well over 10 years and everytime you say "there will be extra" I swear Howie takes it as a personal challenge! 😂😂 Dinner looks amazing.

[@leannekenyoung]

You cook exactly the same way I do! So many people today have no clue how to do it like this! Absolutely nothing goes to waste and so many future meals almost totally cooked and ready and waiting in the freezer! That’s what I call cooking from scratch fast food! It’s the way our grandparents did it and you are teaching the next generation! Absolutely love it! It also shows them when you feed your hard working husband that you are putting a whole lotta love into your cooking too. Keep the videos coming, I learn something every time! God bless. 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁

i LOVE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS - I remember finding youself, Bexar Prepper, Noreen, and Misty Prepper around 2011, you all convinced me that pressure canning was so much better than just using a freezer to store my food in! When you lost power for that incredibly long time (over 24 hours) I knew I needed to start doing it - we lose power in WI EVERY summer .... just never hought of canning water until we lost power for 4 days up here! LOL

[@bettyadkisson1681]

I canned my meat loaves and meatballs and Salisbury steaks. I precooked the meatballs and Salisbury steaks then canned them 1" head space. Then I packed widemouth pints then put a dent into the centers too prevent the meat from swelling up and touching the seal. Tried and true you will be ready for winter power . Because on my last outage I lost all in foods and the side-by-side frig but not in the energy saver frig. So I've changed everything in winter time that way I just heat meals in iron skillet deep chicken frying pan open fire or family dollar sterno heat. They've gone up from $1.00 to $1.25 a can. And was so blessed to have canned up the free heads of cabbages it was prefect for adding too my fried taters and polish sausage skillet meal.

I have to leave out the breadcrumbs and milk for our meatloaf and meatballs because of me being diabetic. I use pork rine crumbs and water and they taste just the same and soo good.. you may want to try that instead of an extra egg

Omg Bev, you have me drooling, and I just ate. That's what I will do when I get to my butchers.

Much love from Thunder Bay Ontario

[@monnanugent8168]

I know this is going to sound crazy but, several years ago I wrote the Reynolds company and asked them what side should be closest my food. They actually said it doesn't matter because its all made from the same stuff and will cook exactly the same. As for the foil on the bottom, my stove is probably 12 or 13 years old and I have put foil on the bottom of mine since it was new and never had a problem. I don't put loads of the stuff in there but I do put a sheet under the center of the racks to catch any drips. I wonder if thats why it hasn't effected mine.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@LicoricesCrochetMom]

Dry some tomatoes this year, or even just the skins and dry and powder them for when you want paste or ketchup. Can you show how much a side of beef is when you get it please? I have the offer of 1/4 side but I can’t visualize how much it is and how much freezer room I will need. Thanks

It depends on the size of the steer. a quart of beef should fill a small chest freezer..the apartment size.

I've never had a issue with tube meat at all. The butcher at the store told us when they have excess ground beef they just package it in 10 lb tubes and put it on sale! Same meat they put on Styrofoam trays in the cooler! Meatloaf sounds so very good! Maybe supper for tomorrow! How long and at what temperature do you put your scalloped potatoes in for? I'll try it your way except add some cheese!

[@bettyadkisson1681]

Have you tried canning your meatloaf. I did in 1/2 pints because its just me and I get 2 meals out of it. Perfect for garden season meals just warm and add mashed potatoes and a side veggie. But I always put a dent in centers so it cooks good. Plus I've canned chicken and pork chunks for barbeque. And stir fry. I gleened pork chops porkloin,veggies and bag of apples 8 bananas and 5 bags of peeled garlic that will do 2 fold yes and 3 bags that will be planted for new garlic for this year and Apple jelly and hand pies for the freezer and zucchini bread and fritters and banana bread. I will have my pantry filled in no time. This way I can buy more meats. I'm on a fixed income so I stretch that buckle ever time. And will get 9 meals from the gleened pork. Over a weeks of meals.
