Stock Shelf Stable Meat to be Prepared! National Preparedness Month

[@trudyhoffmann6405]

I grew up canning everything but meats, now I put up most of my meats in jars. It's great that shelf canned meat give others a great option.

[@pikecreekfarm]

I love it too!!

Thank you for showing us how to use the keystone meat. I have some but I haven't opened any.

I do can meats but have not tried ground beef. The texture of that looked just like fresh ground beef. Maybe I’ll give it a try. I love comfort food casseroles and that looks like it would fit in wonderfully. Thank you!

Hi Renee. It’s so great that you are presenting options for people who either don’t or can’t can meats. Keystone is a great option. I have heard of them before. I’m so glad you’re sharing a recipe for the Keystone meats. I’m sure this will help so many people, especially those who don’t can themselves. Great video, my friend!

[@pikecreekfarm]

Thank you Dawn!!!

[@LauraNadig]

Renee, good to see you again…. Love that you are part of this collaboration! Your casserole looks delicious! Definitely LOVE THE FACT that it’s a shelf stable meal, going to put it on my “winter meals” list. Cozy comfort foods! 😊 I look forward to trying the various (commercial brand) shelf stable meats. I will also can up some of my own…. So far I’ve only done ugly chicken, it’s so nice to have on my shelves for an easy quick dinner. Thanks for sharing!

[@pikecreekfarm]

It is such “fast food”

[@joylouise5417]

I’m a canner also. But isn’t it great to be able to prepare for emergencies if you don’t can. Thanks for showing us how to do it.

Hope you enjoy!

[@wandabrindamour8473]

Your recipe sounds delicious, the time put in preserving the ground beef is well worth it, I love the brown it tip for helping with the texture and giving it a "crunch". I just started presdure canning protiens 9 months ago, and enjoy having the ability to put together a meal in 15 minutes or less depending on the dish chosen for that meal. ❤ Thank you very much!

Hi Renee! I like having home canned meat on my pantry shelves. I remember when I was younger and not many times that I would go to my grandparents house and my grandmother always had a pressure canner going with something in it and she even used a pressure cooker to fix meals with. That’s where I started learning about pressure canning. My mother did can too. Your dish looked yummy. Have a very blessed weekend!

I love canning meat and also have store-bought canned meats/seafood, as well as freeze-dried. I just canned more meatballs the other day because ground beef was on sale for $2.99/pound. It was 70/30, so I lost a good bit in fat and water. But they held their shape (I only used meat and seasonings. No fillers, eggs, grains). From about 2.5 pounds, I got 4 pints (8/jar and topped with broth), which will make 2 meals for me. Thickened and served over noodles with mushrooms added.

Spam and other canned meats can last several years even past the best buy date if kept in cool dry places i seen people store spam up to 5 years past and it was still good to eat. The key is to smell the food for anything nasty and check the meat itself if it looks good smells good and the can is not compromised in any way or dented its good to eat.
