Canned / Non Perishable food recipes
Im still lookin for an LP fridge for those extended stays "out there".
I can drink wine when the beer goes warm.
My favorite is the canned Turkey Chili at Trader Joes. A close second is Tuna Helper.
What are your favorite canned/ non perishable recipes/foods?

Canned roast beef (Costco, 4 pack) with some beans and salsa all slapped into a tortilla is always a crowd pleaser...
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

Here's some of my favorites...
- Canned Chicken (Premium White Meat) is one of my favorites - makes a great Chicken Salad sandwich (mayo, chopped onion, celery or whatever you
like). Can also be used in MANY other dishes. Another favorite is adding it to Macaroni Salad...makes a great light dinner!
The best I've found is Costco's - sold in a multi pack. But also a couple of other good ones available at Target or Walmart.
- Smoked Ham (in a can) is another good thing for sandwiches. Use like the chicken to make a Ham salad. I like it with some Sweet Pickle Relish
added. Also good on crackers as a light dinner or lunch. Hormel makes a good one. Walmart sells it.
- Another thing is Macaroni and Cheese - fry up some non-refrigerated sausage (like a Summer Sausage) and onion and add to it. You can use evaporated
milk if no refrigerated is available. Polska Kelbasa or any other sausage is also delicious. Very easy and filling.
As I said...evaporated milk is good in many recipes. Soy or rice milks which come in wax cardboard cartons is also good for cooking and can be used on
cereal also
- Another thing I like to take camping is pre-cooked Bacon. reheats in just a minute or two and is really good. Use for breakfast or in a BLT. Costco
has an excellent one.
There's a whole world of non-refrigerated/non perishable food out there which makes delicious camp food!
I hope your post gets lots of responses. It would be good to get some new ideas! If it keeps going, I'll add some more ideas later.

Bajaguy, I remember those C-rations...my dad had some stashed in the basement....I remember 6th/7th grade breaking those open and stealing the
cigarrettes (had to experiment somehow)....also remember some chocolate or dessert of some kind....not too tasty...think there were "chic-lets" in
them too! Don't think we ever got to the food!

My favorite canned items/meals, in no particular order:
Dennison's turkey chili with beans, eaten cold, from the can. (I prefer turkey because the little gobs of cold fat in the beef version can be a
little off putting.)
Hormel Mary Kitchen corned beef hash -- open both ends of the can, push the tube of hash out one end, slice it into 3/4 inch disks and fry them in
vegetable oil until crisp on both sides. Good with fried or poached eggs on top.
Canned three bean salad -- toss canned green beans, garbanzos and kidney beans with olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and oregano.
Canned chicken pozole. I can't recall the brand, but they sell it at Smart & Final in big 28 ounce cans.
"Homemade" canned chili (my kids came up with this one). Smart & Final also sells a canned chile colorado (chunks of beef in colorado sauce) in
big 28 ounce cans. Empty one of those into a pot, add two cans of pinto beans, cook covered for about ten minutes to blend flavors, and serve with
your favorite hot sauce.
Canned stewed tomatoes, Italian style. Good, easy side dish. Also interesting when eaten cold, from the can (this requires that you be slightly
impaired).
Canned crushed San Marzano tomatoes. Add to sauteed garlic, cook down for about 15 minutes, then add chopped basil or dried oregano, salt and pepper,
and pour over cooked pasta.
Canned chipotle chile chicken soup -- heat a couple of quarts of chicken stock (use canned or make it with bouillon cubes), add one can each of sliced
carrots and garbanzo beans, cook for about 15 minutes, then add two cans of canned chicken and half a small can of chipotle chiles that have been
deseeded, deveined, rinsed and chopped. Heat through.

It's a shame so much of this canned food is so high in sodium. I personally always travel SOB with a few cases of Vienna Sausage for use only in case
of an emergency. I also keep a few cases at home as part of my emergency food supply.....that and ammo.

Depending on what type of B unit you received, you could get bread, crackers, pound cake or chocolate cake. Additionally, peanut butter, cheese
spread, peach, pineapple or strawberry jam, also hard chocolate candy. Assessory packets contained cigarettes, gum, hot chocolate, coffee, creamer,
sugar, TP and matches...........and don't forget to bring along your trusty P-38 can opener.

I used to also, then circumstances and years of forgetfullness allowed me to misplace them. Then my normal can opener decided to die and i could not
find a p38 anywhere. So now I have 3 cheap p38 that I will stash in my Vehicle, place in the states and Baja. Just get worried that I will forget
where i put my vehicle!

as "Bean and Baby D****".

Polenta topped with any red sauce with canned fish, chicken, or meat. Or topped with canned stew, soup, beans or whatever of your choice. Then in the
morning grilled/fried leftover polenta and eggs. Any hard squash like butternut or acorn wrapped in foil in the fire.
