I love that your son makes appearances on your channel. It provides inspiration to all those mom's who discount the importance and ability of the male members of their family. God Bless you all.

@@TheProvidentPrepper That is wonderful and those precious moments spent cooking will always be with him and you. My fondest moments with my mother was in the garden and the kitchen.

We lived one summer off of a 50 lbs bag of rice, a jug of sesame oil, and all the free rejected produce at the local food co-op. We'd go in and be waiting when they opened to collect the discards, and we made 'stir fry' everything. Most things I learned to eat, but I have to work to choke down eggplant since that was the most common discard all summer!

[@CrafD2me]

During hard times we ate quite a lot of beans. One of our fav bean dishes was calico beans. Even my kids loved it.

[@cyann410]

Wow, I just got chicken thighs for $1.79. Yes, they bone in and had skin, but they were HUGE, AND MEATY ! They were the size of a med to large chicken breast. They came from Costco, and they sell so much chicken, rotisserie chickens, and eggs, they found it easier to have their own chicken farms. So they control the quality to provide better chicken and eggs at better prices.

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

I can't remember what channel i saw this meal: can soup over rice. Did it tonight. Ad some veggies to the rice, diced veggies make it easy to cook it in short amount of time. Love the bags of shred cabbage

[@Thisisit120]

He could definitely have a channel of his song with cooking. He seems to be very calm and confident and astute in what he is doing.

[@justnana2256]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I do something similar but no measurements so it sometimes doesn't turn out perfect. Mixing it in bulk is perfect. ❤️👍🇺🇲

[@faith4390]

Thank you. This sounds like a good meal tomorrow evening for my family when they come over. I'm sure we'll all enjoy it. My Dad is taking dialysis and can't have creamed soups so now we have an alternative.

[@furmisl203]

I LOVE Sam's cooking!

[@amberluttrelll8359]

We just love the Sam cooking videos

[@juliabrown5948]

This is great, I love pantry coming!! Especially when the recipes use those bulk basics. The LDS church store house is where I first bought any food storage!

[@victorialg1270]

Thanks Sam. I really like the shelf stable options. The money saving tips are great too. And there is a new LDS store in Redmond, Oregon Just imagine that recipie with some ranch seasoning mix too.

[@uniquerabbit461]

Game changer! Love this simple recipe to make cream of…I am going to try this this weekend. This seems pantry space saving as well lol. My fall back in lean times is a similar dish but with chicken or ham and home canned green beans, pasta and topped with whatever is on hand, tortilla chips, French fried onions or cornflakes. I like the added texture.

[@cabinfevernanna5897]

Other than Ramen noodles, my hungry times go-to was Campbell's beefy mushroom soup, ground hamburger mixed together over baked/mashed potatoes or rice or noodles. I'd love to see a dried replacement for the beefy mushroom. That gravy is my comfort food. It reminded me of a school lunch I loved as a kid.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Just use beef bouillon and dehydrated/canned mushrooms or mushroom soup base and make it the same as he did. I was hanging winter curtain so I missed some of the video but heard gluten free, I use flour and a fat to make my sauce then add whatever flavor you want…..celery, onion, beef, chicken, cheese…make any cream soup you need for super cheap !! Many years ago I used to buy a mushroom soup base from Watkins, not sure if they still have it or not ? Blessings

[@greentree_]

Ordered the book! Such a simple but good recipe! Good boy learning and teaching a lot of good information.

[@philw7174]

Very nice, this is a great meal that I am going to freeze dry. Thank you Sam, Kylene and Jonathan. Happy trails!

[@robininva]

So thankful for the home storage center in my area!! I am definitely going to make this recipe! Thank you guys! ❤️

[@southsidecarly7427]

This looks yummy, I love getting new recipes using rice. Thanks for sharing the video

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

When there's "nothing in the house" many years ago (according to the kids), fried potatoes & any vegetable was my go to food (reconstituted from dry, pressure canned or fresh). Everyone was happy.

[@nessasnook]

wow nice video thanks for sharing and I like seeing your son in some when he is ready to be on film!

[@paxorra5528]

Rice/Beans/spices/sour cream (if I had it in the house, if not water & corn starch).... but now I have been getting ahead each month, so now cupboards are full!) 🙂

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

There is something in cream soups that hurt my stomach so I gave up on them years ago. I always make up my own cr. of chicken soup but no recipe so I always hope it will turn out good, and it does but now I will know just how much I need. Thanks for the video.

[@judyluchies2492]

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@alizaterrell7607]

Best things I've done to ramen: garlic, green onion, frozen peas (bonus;it cooled down quickly), butter and eggs (scrambled). Worst things I've done to ramen: added too much salt, over cooked the noodles and felt bad for myself for having to eat RAMEN!!! Now it is comfort food from a easier time!

[@Prariegirl2023]

Sam does a GREAT job on 🎥

[@reesewhitt5495]

Well done. Thanks.

[@StephanieJoRountree]

This is the exact meal I've made a number of times: meat, veggies, starch and cream soup.

I love these videos!!👏👏

[@gwendolynjulien4851]

I live in Bangor, Maine and this is my first time watching your video. Where could l buy Mormon food ?

[@thefirstnoob5577]

I paid 4.98 for a 3 pound rotisserie chicken at Sam's. A uncooked chicken is double that. I can make 4 meals for my mother and I. I always buy store brand or make my own.

[@chuggco]

I can't wait to try it 😋

Good video and tips , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@Buzzy-bm6bv]

Thank you so much for all the videos you produce to help people on their preparedness journey. And I understand that preparedness is your primary goal, but trying to keep things as healthy as possible is not contradictory to that goal. The plastic in the bags that hold frozen foods, including the frozen broccoli that your son put in the microwave, do not produce healthy chemicals on the food when they’re microwaved. Since this is not a survival situation, it would be a good idea to take Foods out of the plastic containers put them in a glass bowl with a ceramic cover and microwave them that way. It’s a healthier alternative just something to consider. Have a great day.

[@bobbiferguson1865]

Where can you get cornstarch in bulk?

[@elaines5179]

DoNOT use bare hands in the large cheese shreds bag. Unless you are about to use it all up. Otherwise that can grow mold. So use a cup or spoon to get out of the bag. For me one bag lasts for weeks so this is important.

[@marygallagher3428]

Tasty recipe!

[@jessicaquiroz7178]

Is store bought canned mushrooms, ok?

[@paulinesullivan9950]

Poor college days recipe: 1 box Mac & cheese, make up like usual, then add spaghetti sauce, and canned tuna, or ground beef.

what can you use in place of cornstarch. I'm allergic to corn.

Potato starch. Is there a non dairy alternative to the dried milk powder?

[@gaylegrindle7977]

Mchesses, Back potatoes.

[@kellycarter2497]

I'm going to check out this book. I don't like to use those "cream of" canned soups. There's so much junk in them. I enjoyed the video.

[@kimberlyallen9557]

On are starving days when its close to pay day I will get a dollar box of beef flavored rice (I use 2 ) , half pound of some kind of cooked ground meat. 1 pack taco seasoning 1 jar of taco sauce, and a small amount of shredded cheese. Cook rice according to direction on the box. After meat is done add taco seasoning. Then add seasoned meat and taco sauce to rice mixture. Put in a 9 x 13 baking dish . Sprinkle cheese on top. Heat in oven on 350 for 10 to q5 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. We make taco nachos, or burrito with them. Some times if I have them I will add black beans to the mixture.

[@kimberlyallen9557]

We also do the same with the chicken flavored rice box, and use half pound cooked chicken

I totally just “powdered” myself and my kitchen right before he mentioned that! I just cooked a package from ready hour of macaroni and cheese ti try it out. It’s a bust IMO before I’ve even eaten it because it takes 15-20 min of boiling to cook! Yikes! 12 min for normal max n cheese? Makes no sense to me. Also I love cooking with my kids and especially my son - I can’t throw a ball with him as well as Dad can - so it’s not as meaningful. But cooking - that we can do and connect with in a meaningful way.
