I like to keep a lot of canned meats in my pantry
for quick and easy meals.
They are also great for food storage in case of an emergency.
The meats I store are:
Tuna fish
Roast beef
Chicken
Turkey
Ham
These are my favorites, although, obviously
there are others like ham.

My 3 sons are heavily
into camping. They often take these cans with them, and eat the meat directly
out of the can.
Tuna Fish - This is the most common
one, that everyone knows how to use, from sandwiches to casseroles with rice and
noodles.
Roast Beef - Not as many people use
this. It is great heated up by itself, maybe with some French fried onions in
it, or fresh green peppers and onions. My favorite recipe, using canned roast
beef is my economical version of
Beef Stroganoff.
Chicken - Nothing easier than adding a
small can of chicken to Rice-a-Roni.
Turkey - See my recipe for
Turkey
crescent rolls for one of my favorite ways to use canned turkey.
Ham - This is great in potato casseroles.
There are many, many uses for canned meat
from casseroles, to salads, soups, and sandwiches. It's a good feeling to have a
well stocked pantry.
