When I was a kid, we called the grocery store in our small town the bent can store because the owner got everything from damaged or surplus. Lots of cans didn't have labels so many nights were mystery can dinners. Always fun! Yea! Kitties got salmon.

[@fawnemcavoy692]

okay use 2 cans beans with tomatoe sauce use 3 lbs ground beef use 1 large can of diced tomatoes use i can plain tomatoe sauce fry up ground beef put it in the crock pot fry up one onion put it in the crock pot add the other ingrients in the crock pot

[@alanef4127]

Puree the diced tomatoes and add some evap milk and spices to make cream of tomato soup...

[@VannaWhiteboard]

Add frozen peas and carrots to make it chicken pot pie stew! Blend tomatoes and can milk for creamy tomato soup? This is fun, more of these. You are a genius!

[@fawnemcavoy692]

all my kids love this i see using the cans at the grocery store this my mother inlaws recipe

[@lynettecrowe8123]

The salmon you could make patties . Mix salmon, mashed potatoes, grated onion, eggs You then make in to patties and fry or you can coat with breadcrumbs

[@raye5071]

My Mom used to do this with leftover salmon when out camping.So good!

[@donettegibson]

Love this. Literally me every night pulling together mystery dinner from the pantry. With labels though. 😅 Yay for more cooking inspo!

[@misst1586]

Same❤

[@paulatheodore9283]

Mystery meals sound fun. Cream of tomato soup would make a good lunch with grilled cheese sandwiches. I love the way that you can think of meals on the fly with what’s in the house. Good job frugal mommy!😊

[@denisemayer3837]

Bravo 👏 Amy for coming up with something you absolutely think outside the can lol my dad joke sorry love all your videos ❤️🇨🇦😜

[@debbiegoble9836]

When we lived in Michigan, the man who owned the local store. Gave us every month a big huge box of cans goods with no labels on them. My mother would take and make the most amazing meals out of them. You are truly my sister My mom make potato dumplings just like you did here. She had to feed 8 of us.

[@fawnemcavoy692]

stir this all with a wooden spoon then put lid on slow cooker cook this on low for several hours this tastes good

[@fawnemcavoy692]

add garlic powder and 1/4 cup chili powder and black pepper

[@danamama6766]

Always love the mystery of the mystery cans :) Wonderful creations you made. yumm

[@lingbingus]

U CAN make whipped cream out of really cold evaporated milk,whip add some sugar or sweetner

[@SassySue67]

I’m surprised she didn’t know that.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

​@SassySue67 l didn't no that

[@moakley60]

@@catherinebarlow3079I didn't know that either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You learn something new every day.

[@cherylbrowning3303]

Can hardly wait for more mystery cans ,until the next mystery meal keep divin

[@marilynparmelee]

What a fun video!

[@Gardeningchristine]

We cook alike. I had some rice and 1/2 can of corn, so I added onions, garlic, peanuts, peanut butter, soy sauce and made fried rice 🍛

[@maryg9329]

Fabulous. Nice to see a cook experiment and it's a success.

[@christinelowery3524]

Nice job frugal mommy. 😊

[@littleone7404]

These are the best meals ever Never know what you're gonna get but you always come up with the most amazing ideas

[@jeannettegoozey7451]

Great cooking Frugal Mommy 👍❤️👍❤️ For one can of diced tomatoes dice some celery and onions to make a meat loaf. That's what I use for mine. Just an idea 💡 Enjoyed watching this Mystery Can Opening With the evaporated canned milk you can make custard or even gravy out of it. Hugs from California 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

[@sandisherck4636]

That was fun! Fun like blind bags....

[@Helen1132-pz8dv]

Evaporated milk for coffee. Store in mason jar. Also use for recipes... half water & half evaporated milk.

[@kikihammond5326]

I love your creativity. You did things I'd never have thought of, but the chicken stew sounds like a winner.

[@freakinfrugal5268]

I'd never thought of them before either!

[@debgordon6542]

Fabulous Food Fun with the Freakin' Frugal Family :-)

[@azzamarwan5476]

It looks so delicious , well done ❤❤ enjoy everyone in the family 🎉🎉

[@mercedeslusk1969]

Hello frugal mommy,now I get it,that's why you called it mystery cans,there are no labels 👍🥰🤙💖Hello to frugal daddy,I miss his dumpster diving 😊😊😊

[@teepeeX]

Great that everyone wanted to try mystery meal 😂😂😂 ..

[@Chronicmom68]

Frugal mommy is pretty amazing when it comes to whipping up a surprise can meal. Well done.

[@sunnybelisle4007]

You are such a creative cook, Amy. I love seeing what you come up with when you open those mystery cans. It's always a good example of how to throw together a meal with what is in your pantry when the SHTF. Thanks for the ideas. 🥰

[@belindapalmer3132]

Lovely family and well done Frugal Mommy I wouldn’t have thought of those ideas 👍

[@suzanneantcliff9896]

Well done frugal mummy looked fantastic 🎉🎉

[@cindymichaud7111]

Your family is happy, who could want more? Good going, Amy. Glad all is well. Have a blessed day 💖✝✝

[@joanbroadway759]

I loved watching you stir up a delicious meal with mystery ingredients. Your cooking videos are my favorites. I would love to see a video showing what you cook your family for a week using only what fd found in a dumpster and spices/ingredients you had in your pantry. Showing how to feed a family of four/five for a week without spending any money.

[@deniseodaniels7356]

i am so making these meals. Probably tomorrow...thank u Amy. u rock!

[@tarras3292]

Thank you for Giving me a idea with the Potatoe dish

[@kulickfamilyfarm4333]

This was the best video! ❤ mystery cans make the most interesting meals. I would have used those refried beans and diced tomatoes to make a taco dinner. Thanks for sharing!

[@anitayee9084]

We love Mystery cans❤ and Happy Sunday and Thank you for Share your video. Have a Amazing week ahead ❤

[@pattscollectons1234]

How awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@C.O.G.]

Great mystery can ideas. When my kids were little, and we were running low on groceries and money, I would make noodle soup using chunk light tuna, Ramen noodles and cream of chicken soup. The flavor of the tuna was so light that, by adding a good amount of sage to the soup, it was hard to taste the difference between it and chicken noodle soup. My kids loved it.

[@randallmoore1681]

you could have made some chicken croquette patties, made a cream sauce or cream gravy out of evap milk to go over them. could have fixed stewed tomatoes with diced tomatoes. interesting and fun idea!

[@abbeyflowers5775]

Enjoyed your video Frugal Mom! Very creative with the food! I do miss seeing you dive! Missed the pets in this video!

[@5boysmomma]

The only thing I would have done differently is to cut the pears and add some applesauce and used some of the pear juice to make a slurryto thicken up the fruits. Maybe a little more milk (evaporated of course) or a wee bit of water with the chicken. You're right thro just about any vegetables would have been wonderful. I've used applesauce to bump up the amount of apples I had to make an apple crisp.

[@shirleysmith971]

I have those ingredients so I’m going to try all that. It looks really good !! ❤

[@sherrymckibbon5265]

I agree with Sharon. This is a rock star family!!!

[@freakinfrugal5268]

Ah that's sweet. I am a loser but the rest of the fam is awesome!

[@laurastrout7588]

Very good frugal mommy. I want to see where all the furniture went. 😊❤

[@freakinfrugal5268]

It's slowly moving into place. We got snow, so moving everything out to the house out back has slowed down a bit.

[@brendaasencio4678]

Chicken, cream soup Amd potatoes make casserleo

[@jackieburnett6881]

You did a fabulous yummy meal!! Loved it! Never would have thought of making potato dumplings. Very creative yes you are!!!!

[@Pearl-s4c]

If you would look where the expiration and the numbers on the it usually gives you the first two initials about what was in the can

[@misst1586]

Good info

[@fawnemcavoy692]

our home made chili recipe try that it has cans its good

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

Somehow I didn't see this video oh my gosh what a delight on my day Sunday at work thank you Amy and who wants to see Amy back in the dumpster with frugal Daddy

[@maryames164]

Love those ideas! And the mystery can meals!!!

[@froukjeveenstra5141]

Hoi Amy wat fijn dat je gerechtjes goed zijn gekeurd ik ga zeker het toetje proberen ❤❤

[@paulettedrake2972]

Yes! I have mashed up a drained can of pears and added to the applesauce. It is very good. "pear applesauce". Oh wonderful to see your daughter and Frugal Daddy taste test the stew and tart!

[@freakinfrugal5268]

That sounds like a really good idea

[@rachelwickart275]

At the first can, I was saying, "Cream of something soup!!" Maybe that's the cold weather here talking, but that kinda meal appeals today. Thanks for the fun video!

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

Looks great!!

[@BobbieD]

Love how resourceful you are great meal for the family😊

[@auntiali9344]

All looks yummy. You can call your concoction "slop in a bowl". We call whatever casserole we are eating "slop in a bowl".

[@sighthound5449]

That was awesome! Just shows what you can do with a little creativity and a few basic staples.

[@brendamcclellan4927]

Watching you opening those cans brought back memory's of my grandma she made this soup we call it grandmas soup. She would buy cans of peas and carrots and corn green beans stewed tomatoes and lean hamburger if she had enough money beef broth also she would fry the hamburger add all the canned stuff including the broth than minced garlic chopped onion and your favorite seasonings everyone in our family has made grandmas soup when times were hard I add elbow macaroni when my kids were still at home. My friends will come in when I have that on the stove and beg me for the recipe I make it now because my husband loves it.

[@avacadman2155]

We love home made fruit pie with condensed milk poured over the pie in place of custard, perfect dessert! 👍👍👍👍

[@jenniferbatson9207]

Great job frugal mommy ❤️

[@alanbirkner1958]

I thought of salmon casserole with the potatoes. Sauce with the tomatoes. Or the refried beans and the other can of tomatoes. Chicken and mushroom soup. Love your ideas. Tina, Al's wife

[@karjurassic8364]

“ It’s sort of a beige sludge!” … 😂🤣😂🤣😂 ✌🏻💕

Great 👍 job. I love to see you cook. You’re a great cook. Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙

[@MartinMidlifeMisadventures]

Amy, you are so awesome! Those little pear tarts look amazing! I agree about the cream of soups, so handy and they really bring flavor. They say we can make whipped cream from the evaporated milk, but it hasn't worked for me either, it doesn't get fluffy. You all have a wonderful Sunday, stays and and well

[@DonitaBarr]

Hello from Kansas. You were very creative with your meal. Good job. Happy to see you on!!😜😜

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

Freakin frugal viewers and subscribers who wants to see Amy back in the dumpsters don't you think they would make her videos just fabulous

[@Mawmawslife]

Thank you very much for sharing your recipe. I am going to try this with my family. I love how you used the canned potatoes.

[@rhondaowen5930]

👍👍👍

[@roselinlila4336]

Frugal mommy, you are a gem❤. Those tarts would be yum with fresh cream❤

[@noneofya5993]

first video I watch but that lady *IS* a good mother, I can tell that much already!

[@annettemaddalone4297]

i would have used cornstarch on the pear juice to thicken it and put it on top of the pears

[@marioncottell7285]

That was really great I loved it. 💕

[@ChristineZarraga-pg7oe]

You rock Amy ,love what u did ❤

[@ronmiller7910]

You could've added a little evaporated milk to the heart desserts and baked. Just a thought. You still do you because you know your family.

[@loriskiba3921]

Now that is a great idea for a meal Amy!! Plus desert! Ya!

[@jodiely7983]

Very fun video! I love when you show us simple meals we can make with every day items. It all looks delicious to me.

Hi Amy and Frugal Daddy Great job Amy and Frugal family love it!!❤ Blessings your friend Joyce from California HUGS 🫂 🤗 ❤️

[@DUMPSTERDIVINGADELAIDE123]

Good afternoon Amy, 3pm hot Sunday here in Adelaide, Thanks for the video 😊❤

[@mareebrown-e3n]

3.16pm here in central Victoria. Not too hot, around 32 degrees Cel. Almost a cool change :). I haven't put the AC on yet, and probably won't need to. I was thinking maybe a custard made with any left over evap. milk would go well with the pear tarts.

[@lanna7917]

Great frugal meal yay Frugal Mommy! If you can't cook with imagination then you will not survive the apocalypses.

[@TRoxanne55]

I would love to see more of these cooking videos of your dumpster finds.

[@andreamueller1674]

Sounds like fun! Mystery Can Meal!! I'm excited to see what you have and what you come up with.
