Food Storage Recipe - Dried Bean Patties(Burgers)

This is a good one. I  use our left over cooked navy beans.

 Mash up about 2 cups of cooked dried navy beans

 Add them to-
             about 1/2 a cup of chopped onion
             some parsley

 Beat that up and then add -
              2 egg yolks
              2 Teaspoon milk
             salt and pepper

 Shape the mixture into balls and flatten them into patties.
Dip them into flour.
 Fry them slowly until browned. I use leftover bacon fat to fry them in.

 We have eaten them as sandwiches on buns or just to go as a side dish .The great thing about this recipe is that you can change it up as you like. Even use other type of beans. Black beans are a great one to use. On the "burger" you can add all of your favorite toppings.

Food Storage Recipe - Biscuit Leftover Meat Pie

 

This is a good one for using up any leftover ground beef, leftover roast, leftover vegetables, and even chicken.

Maybe try with leftover turkey!

Put the meat into an Oven Proof Skillet . Add leftover diced potatoes, carrots, and chopped small onion.

I sometimes will also add leftover gravy if I have it. But, you can add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water.

Add any seasonings you like.

Cook on the stove until heated through.

Add a can of biscuits to the top and place in oven , cook until the biscuits are done.

YUMMY and a great way to use up leftovers.

Food Storage Recipe - Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak

I always seem to find these pre formed hamburgers at my local grocery store during manager specials. VERY Low cost!! They are so good to throw in the freezer and then pull out when you need a quick meal. The last couple of times I have used them to make this slow cooker salisbury steak. Everything from my food storage!

We have this with Mashed potatoes!


NEED:

4 - 6   pre-formed hamburger patties

steak seasoning

Cup of frozen chopped onions

1 package of sliced mushrooms

1 package of beef gravy mix

1 1/2 cup of beef broth

salt and pepper to taste

Spray your slow cooker with a bit of non stick spray.

Start layering the meat patties , seasoning , onion , and mushrooms.

Add the gravy mix and the broth to this and let this cook for about 4 - 5 hours on high.

Stir it up a bit . Serve with mashed potatoes. We usually have a salad and some kind of bread. 


 

Food Storage Recipe - Hobo Chicken

This is a really yummy and easy meal to make. Everyone will love this grilling recipe.

NEED:

 ● 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

 ● 1lb chopped cooked bacon

● 3 chopped potatoes

 ● 3 peeled and chopped carrots

 ● 1 peeled and chopped yellow onion

 ● ½ cup butter

● Garlic salt to taste

Cut four large squares of aluminum foil – large enough to create a foil packet around each chicken breast.

 

 Grease each foil square with spray butter and then place a chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil.

 

 Divide your cooked bacon among the four packets and sprinkle on top of each chicken breast.

 

 Now place your potatoes, carrots and onions on top. 

 

Top this vegetable mixture with 2 tbsp. of butter and sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.

 

 Fold over your foil to create a tightly sealed packet around your ingredients. 

 

Place your sealed packets on your hot coals or your grill and let cook for around 20 minutes. 

 

After 20 minutes open up one of your packets to check that your chicken is cooked through.

 

 If it is not cooked all the way through, continue to cook for 5 minutes at a time until it is.
