Is it just wheat, rice and beans?
Not everyone has been cooking and using their food storage for years like I have. But, even if you have, it’s nice to learn something new.
Here are a few examples of what we do here:
Spaghetti
1. this is dehydrated cooked ground beef in case you don’t have a freezer, or you can simply can it.
2. No that’s not corn Lol. You can get premade sauce, or can tomato sauce and add the spices.
3. Shelf stable Parmesan Cheese
You can even bake up some Italian Bread to go with the meal. Here’s the recipe link:https://www.thefoodnanny.com/wprm_print/2452
Beef Stew and Biscuits
You can either get the premade cans or make you own with canned beef chunks in it’s juice, canned carrots and potatoes, dehydrated celery and onion and a thickener.
Disclaimer: During the last year we received food through food banks and our church. This beef stew can’t be purchased but I’m sure you will find something suitable.
Ham and Beans with Cornbread:
Note: This is a 3 gallon bucket as you can see will hold 12 1/2 lbs. of beans
Mac & Cheese with hot dogs & green beans on the side and a sweet treat of canned fruit
Turkey/chicken Noodle Soup with a side of fruit. You can even make crackers if you would like. Here is a link to the video and recipe:https://youtu.be/vIgoAg9821I

Chili Dogs
You can even can you own chili and make it fresh. As for the bun part of things, you can either use some homemade bread slices using recipe above or make you own Hot Dog Buns:https://cheflolaskitchen.com/wprm_print/14348
You can store grated cheese in the freezer or can even get Freeze-dried Shredded Cheese

While I believe “Homemade is best made” there are times that convenience foods are good to have on hand. If you were in an emergency situation, you aren’t going to have time to make everything fresh.
