I love Costco canned beef!! We love to mix it with BBQ sauce, heat it up, shred it and then put it on hamburger buns for a SUPER fast meal!! I have two roasts in the crock pot right now. I am going to shred the meat, put it is small freezer bags and freeze for future easy meals!

Have you ever pressure canned your own meats before?

I have done it and it is fantastic! I pressure canned boneless, chicken breasts in pint jars (each jar holds 1 pound of raw meat) with no additional liquid or seasonings. I tasted better and was more moist that any of the canned chicken on the store shelves and I only payed $1.69 per pound for the meat!

I have also pressure canned ground beef. I found that the beef gets sort of "mushy" canning it, but if I fry the meat to heat up the fats, then the texture of the meat becomes more normal. And then I drain the fat off just as with any ground beef.

I love the idea of adding these items to my food storage and having them available for those last minute meals.

I use the canned beef for most mexican dishes that call for beef (enchiladas, tacos, etc.). I shred it and let it cook in a mixture of spices.

Sometimes I make a brown gravy, shred the beef and mix it in and have hot open faced roast beef sandwiches. My dad used to make them with leftover roast, but this works just as well.

I have tried substituting it in some other recipes like chili, beef stroganoff, and vegetable beef soup.

If you have other ideas for canned beef I'd love to hear them!
