Freeze Dried Ground Beef LARGE CAN

Fine texture of beef makes it great in tacos and sloppy joes, also put it in soup. I was tired of cooking up a whole pound of beef when i didnt need it and guess who is the only person in the house to eat leftovers.. ME. So now i just make what ever amount i want. So Easy to stock up on meat without buying a freezer etc...Freeze Dried is the best way!

If you use this product, and the taste and smell is to strong, your not using BOILING HOT water, Crazy Boiling Hot Water (is there such a thing :). Experimenting with the can I have, I found that if you boil a cup of water on a stove, in a deep pot, with the lid on, make sure it is a roiling boil. When the water is boiling pour 1/2 cup of meat into the pot and then take it off the stove. You need a deep enough pot so that when you pour the meat in, the foam will not go over the sides of the pot ( think of how a deep fryer acts ). I use a quart and a half pot for one 1/2 cup of meat and one cup of water, this seems to be a good combination. IF the meat does not foam some when you pour it in, the water was not hot enough. Let sit for about 6 minutes string only once after you pour the water in. Also, if you are outside you may need to put your pot in a pot cozy or towel to keep it from getting cool to quickly. If the pot cools off it will not re-hydrate the meat properly. Drain and use as any ground meat in soups, stews, or sauces. Now, my daughter says it tastes OK, since she is our resident food critic, I can now use it in my meal plans. I tried pouring the water over the meat, but if you use the wrong pan, pot, bowl, combination, the product may not re-hydrate to your satisfaction. I did find that if you use one 4-cup and one 1-cup Pyrex measuring cups, pouring the water from the 1 cup into the 4 cup which has the meat in it, works good, if you "super heat" the water in the one cup measuring cup of water in a microwave oven. This can be dangerous if not done correctly and may explode burning the cook. I haven't got burned, but I don't recommend it. I like the stove method better. tp

I have a can that I am not sure I can use. I think the flavor and smell is quite strong and I can't seem to make the flavor calm down with repeated rinses. I gave some to others and they don't like the strong flavor either. I was hoping it would be an easy way to have it on hand for camping and hiking but I'm sorry to say it is not usable. My wife said that maybe we got a bad run, but the price is to high to justify trying another can. sorry tp

So far, I've used this in spaghetti, sloppy joes, and tacos. I have absolutely no complaints. After rehydrating, rather than drain, I usually substitute the access water for the water called for in the various recipes. The small pieces of beef break-up very easily, so I've found it works better to pour from the can rather than scoop. Also, much of the beef appears to be nothing but powder. The powder rehydrates into small beef and is completely usable.

This is very good. I've used it in soups and in chili and was very happy with it. It's convenient and tasted good.

OH MY GOD I TRIED THIS AND IT TASTED LIKE MEAT AND I EAT IT EVERY DAY
