Wow! You are opening the can! Thank you! So many preppers refuse to do this- yet they will dedicate an entire video to a product. I appreciate you! Thank you for doing this! This is incredibly useful! Especially since this product is talked about a lot but it is also expensive. Your video is one in a million!
This fhat b the first one getting taken out during the end of days. Let me dogs eat her nasty body And I eat and enjoy all her prepping. Enjoy her cans of food and stocks of ammo. Fhat b ain’t runnin no where. She the last one the should be prepping. 💀🤯🤯😂😂😂😂
Keystone cold packs the cans so any juice fat so on. Came out of the meat when it was cooked in the can. I can't find it anymore unless it's a seller way over pricing it. I'm glad I got what I have when it was $6.28 a can or less. That's about what it seems like when heated up was about a pound. My wife yelled at me at one point for buying so much. Keystone is as good as homemade, because it contains only meat and salt just like homemade.
it's a good product but people have to keep that in mind. I myself saved the juiced & the Jello type substance in the bottom of the can for my recipe...
I got some of the ground meat before the prices went crazy. We taste tested it before i bought more. Its very good, my kids thought it was odd but they liked it once I cooked it and made tacos. I did put it in the refrigerator then skimmed that fat off. I freeze the juices and use that for soup liquid on another day. Thanks for the taste test!
@@Super7147 I wish I had an inexpensive suggestion. I had always ordered mine on Walmart online they don't carry it in my local store. The ground beef has become crazy expensive. The keystone chicken, pork and shredded beef is still reasonably priced. Good luck!
@@Super7147 my Walmart store has the ground beef, roast beef, shredded pork. It is great to take camping and have on hand for an emergency. The ground beef makes great chili.

Hi Linda! Keystone anything has been hard to find here. I have seen the pork at Walmart and after your video, I feel more confident in trying some. Thanks for using one of your preps to show us how it cooks up.😊
Can't beat the ingredients~beef and salt. I learned to home can meat in 2020, but stocked a lot of Keystone before that when it was also cheaper, even though I didn't think so at the time! So glad to have it in my pantry. Thanks Linda for the demo. Looking forward to your recipe. I was thinking Shepherd's Pie would be a great SHTF recipe, but you can do so much with ground beef. God bless. ~~Laura
I have been purchasing Keystone meats for years. Long before the prices went up. I buy direct from their website. Shipping is a little pricey, but worth it. You get 12 cans of 1.5 lbs. or smaller ones around 1 lb. There are 24 of those in a case. I have bought the hamburger, beef (like roast beef) and chicken. I also purchased their beef and chicken broths. They do have turkey meat and broth too. When I started purchasing it was $75.00/case of 12 plus shipping. I have around 26 cases of the three different meats. ALL of it is a very excellent product. I save and freeze the broths from the meat cans for soups and stews. Their website has a video showing the process from start to finish.
Our Walmart sells Keystone shredded beef for a little over $9. I really like it. It is very versatile. the port and the turkey are also very good and run somewhat cheaper about a $1 less. It is a pricey, but the convenience and the fact it is shelf stable make it worth it to me. It does not stay stocked in the store, and Walmart is only place around here that sells it.
The whitish-looking pieces are beef veins. I got some, as the label states, "grass-fed beef bavette sirloin steaks" from Blue Apron that has very noticeable, large veins running through the meat. Doesn't look very appetizing. "The muscle fibers, or veins, of bavette steak are easily visible. Bavette is a cut of beef from the abdominal muscles of a cow, and is also known as flap steak." Mystery solved.
Thats what I stocked up on! I did try the walmart brand but there was significantly more juices/gravy in the other brands versus a can full of meat. I would buy one or two cans a month because it is expensive but worth for long term storage. I also did home can my own beef. I also purchased the chicken. Haven't found any turkey at the stores yet..
I appreciate your review so much. I will say. I came across a deal on ground chuck for a 1.99 per lb last week and canned thirty pounds. First time I've canned gr. beef. Drained it well and added beef bouillon as the liquid. Two jars didn't seal so we cooked it the next day for tacos and it was wonderful. Canning takes more time but lb for lb it is cheaper Andi atleast know what's in it. I do appreciate you so much. Thank you!
Very good video ~ Keystone canned meats are far cheaper than the Mountain House, Readywise or any of the survival products being sold. Also any of the Bear Creek soups and pasta mixes are very good and much much cheaper than the survival products being sold. All of these products have a pretty long shelf life as well ! 👍
Except that the container breaks down over time :/ If you have not yet watched people open 30+ year old cans of meats and veggies and such, there are tons of videos here on TH-cam.
@@james0000 That's true on the extreme decades long. But, the stuff will definitely last a lot longer than the Best Buy date. In my opinion, 10 years is still fresh, if the can looks fine. I don't care about the date, I think we will have enough problems during the next 5 to 10 years, stored food will be eaten way before it goes bad.
@@Barbara-jn2gw I've never seen the unknown bits that were in the canned in any fresh ground beef that I've bought. Not saying it's not there, just not obvious ;-)
House of Prep calls the Keystone ground beef the unicorn of canned meat! 🤣It's the hardest one to find. My stores have been out of it for a long time, but I was able to stock some a while ago. It's good, its worth the money, but for new preppers on a budget, I would advise starting with the cheaper meats until you get some things on your shelf. Ewww, could this Keystone meat meal prep be a comeback of the SHTF meals?
I am in the Southwest and any Keystone is a unicorn. I had prepped some before Covid but then I didn’t see any keystone here in Arizona for maybe 18 months. The Walmart finally started carrying the Keystone pork again. And, I was just able to get two additional cans of the roast beef. Walmart had a limit on those and the price went up three dollars a can by the way. But I have not seen the ground beef in well over two years. So I did find a resource who freeze-dries organic Colorado beef and he had sirloin burgers. I got a few bags of the freeze dried and after I did the math they were about the same price as Keystone. And, the free stripe will last for 25 years.
I’ve purchased the Keystone pork from Walmart recently. It is really good as bbq pulled pork so I’ll be buying more. Unfortunately, it went from $7.45 to $8.72 in the last 2 weeks. Thinking about buying the beef but at almost $11 a can, it’s still in the maybe purchase category.
Thanks for sharing! I have never seen any Keystone meats in my Walmart or any grocery stores here. I started canning meats 2 years ago and will continue to do so whenever I find meat on sale. I have 10 pounds of $.69/pound chicken leg quarters I'm de-boning . I will make broth out of the skin and bones and can it as well as the chicken. I have ground beef, roast, pork roast, chili, spaghetti sauce (with and without meat, meatballs (in broth and spaghetti sauce), and beef stew. It is so nice to have meat already cooked and prepped for quick meals.
You're braver than me I couldn't eat something with unidentified particles in it. I'll stick with my local grocery store. It has 80/20 ground chuck on sale right now for $3.99/ pound.
yes they do but... if there is no electric there will be no refrigeration to keep meat safe also cash registers etc.. on stores would not work so it makes sense to buy canned meats
@@colleendoss7637 That's why it pays to home can. I don't keep meat in the freezer any more. It is all pressure canned. I do have some canned meat from the store... tuna, salmon, corned beef, Spam and others that I do not home can. It's good to have options.
@@danniemcdonald4903 i have a canner but not a pressure cooker wish i had one my daughter pressure cooks all her meats i just buy right now and hope that my electric stays
She read the ingredients...beef and sea salt. So what are you considering to be unidentified particles? As far as the 80/20 ground chuck, that you buy at your local supermarket, I'm sure, it too has the occasional unidentified particles. Have you ever read up on pink slime that is added to our meat. I have a hard time not thinking about that when I shop. But with fuel prices, shortages, and supply chain issues I think that we should be happy to get anything we can. I'm afraid that what I have canned and put back will not be enough.
I was lucky enough to get 6 cans of it before it became impossible to find. I haven't tried it yet, but I trust it will be good. It has gotten many good reviews, as well as the beef, chicken, turkey and pork. I'll be saving mine to use to make spaghetti, sloppy joe's, etc.
Linda I enjoyed your video that is the only one I don’t have is the ground beef but when you was looking at those little pieces and you said maybe I don’t want know I got so tickle the way times are going we all not going want to know be to busy trying to survive once again thank you for video ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 I just went on Walmart app that one 28oz can of ground beef is 47.00 Lord what is the world coming to
$47 is crazy prices. I'll bet you $1 USD that it was from a 3rd party and not Walmart direct. They sell TONS of stuff in their app and their web site that is 3rd party and that's when the prices get crazy like that. The cans are in-stock and only $7.99 at my local grocer. As of today, they have 44,156 available across the 6 States they service. The price has bounced around a bit... from $7.39 3 months ago... to $7.19 1 month ago... to $7.99 today.
I just went back and looked it from L&L boutique marketplace I am in Mobile Alabama and the Walmart I shop at don’t have the ground beef but I didn’t think at the time that when I was online it was from someone else’s thank you for pointing that out to me
@@sherlenewhite584 Yup, after seeing a bunch of people talk about that price I took a look for myself. L&L should kind of be ashamed of themselves. I'll definitely note their name and try to never buy anything from them.
Linda, I’ve been buying Keystone meats (chicken & beef) for years. Just recently while I’ve been trying to combine two pantries I came across a case of chicken that I had purchased back in 2009! Gosh w/ a discount that I used back them it was only $129.00! Anyway last month I opened a can to see if it was still good & my gosh it was! My Walmart just recently restocked their shelves w/ it & I have to say I was surprised that it hadn’t gone up that much in price.
I pressure can all my meat, meat stored for Winter use. Pressure canning ground beef is quite common, versus canning meat cubes or fish, unless you're living within the rural northern latitudes. Usually only buy a very small selection of the store bought canned meat for very long term storage. Store bought canned meat usually contains extremely large amounts of fat and sodium. On the flip, your particular store bought canned ground beef can likely be easily rendered of most of the fat, boiling the meat within a good amount of water, then subsequently refrigerating the liquid over night. Looks far better than some of the other more well known store bought canned beef.
Great demo - thank you very much - have never seen them on the shelves anywhere here in Central Texas. I think I need a couple - it looks like Keystone might be easier for a meatloaf than freeze dried ground beef
Thank's Linda for the demonstration! I have been reluctant to try it. But if my stores get it back in stock, I will surely buy some and try it because of your video.
I have purchased Keystone beef, pork and chicken. It is good stuff but you've got to add your own spices. Most importantly: "Something is better than nothing."
Thanks for this video. I have never bought Keystone but heard they are good and heard it's almost impossible to get ground beef. LOL. We butcher our own steer and this year I canned my own ground beef. I did use one jar that did not seal and it was very tasty and also super easy to use in making spaghetti sauce because I didn't have to really fry it... so a lot less mess.
Thanks for sharing this with us Linda and I don't have any keystone meats anywhere in my town not at any stores here or my Walmarts stores....wish we did ..but Walmart have cans of meat but it's usually runs chicken or pork but never beef....so the meat hamburger out of cans looks good and you said it smells good....but I don't like smell of tuna bc it stinks to me and the chicken stinks to me too but thats me... I guess....hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself and I know you are Linda keep it up 👍👍🙏😇❤️💖💖. Have a great week! 💖. Take care Linda ☺️
2 years ago I bought my son 12 cans of Keystone ground beef. I ordered it from the Keystone website. They were on sale and half price shipping. I saw an old video that Preppernurse1 did. He and his kids opened a can and ate it.
28 oz keystone beef or ground beef, a pound of dried pinto beans, dried minced onions, granulated garlic, chili powder. 2 -6 oz cans of tomato paste........ makes a large batch of chili. and it is very good,,,,,,, lots of calories and protein,. ( the pork works for this also) I estimate it would prevent starvation for 1 person for at least a full week and you can increase the amount of beans and still have good taste)
I bought one can but haven't opened it. I've pressure canned lots of ground beef, sausage, pork tenderloin and chicken. A lot of work but glad to have it.
The funny looking pieces is why I stopped buying the ground beef. I couldn't figure out what it was but it was in every can. However, the beef and chicken are VERY good in my opinion!
We don't have any Keystone meats here in upstate NY. At least not in my surrounding counties. And ordering from Walmart or Amazon is way too expensive. They want almost $30 for a 28 oz can of beef. When I heard you say you were gonna open that can just for a test, I almost 💩! But I didn't realize you all can get it pretty cheap down south. You're lucky! Congrats to everyone who can prep this golden nugget! 💛 I'm jealous! I can my own beef. Gotta make do with what's available, right? 😁
In my opinion canning your own is a whole lot better than buying the keystone.It’s a lot cheaper too. For those who do not pressure can the keystone is a great way to store meat.
I've seen that too, I'm in MI and get Keystone at the lower price. When you go online at Walmart, on the left side of the screen there should be where you can click on "retailer", and it should drop down. It may show three options: "Walmart", "Pro Seller" and "Marketplace". You always check the Walmart box, and it will remove any merchandise the other two are selling. I've noticed the other two retailers (I think they buy it from Walmart, mark it up, like on Ebay, Amazon and hope someone will make a mistake and buy from them, or Walmart has none in stock and they do, for the high price) have some ridiculous prices for the same items Walmart is still selling for much lower prices. If you have a Walmart login, don't use it, just try going to Walmart.com unidentified and put in Keystone canned meat and see how it comes up. Also, the best by date on the Keystone is 5 years, but I've used can's that are 7-8 years old that were still good. I never buy from the other overpriced retailers on the Walmart web site. Good luck!
Linda. Thank you so much for making this video. I have always wondered what the Keystone ground beef was like. I have never bought any so it is nice to know it would be worth the $. Have a blessed day!
I’ve eaten the ground beef and it is nothing to brag about. The texture is soft and soggy, there is a lot of fluid in the can and the flavor is bland. It has great shelf life and is a good prep to have for when the food chain collapses. 😳
I like keystone and have both types of beef and their chicken on the shelf. It's good but it's pricey even before the plan-demic kicked in but worth it. For for those folks who are not able to do home canning it's a wonderful alternative so I would say thumbs up to keystone and thumbs up to you Linda for showing this one. I cant wait to see just what your going to make with it.
Iv tried the other beef from keystone, and Im so impressed that tomorrow and Im going to they're site and buying 12 different cans and 20 of the chicken and beef bullion to put away. Way cheaper then other companies that have the canned meat
I guess my comment didn’t register but I just joined your channel just found you actually and I do appreciate you opening the meat so I can see I’ve been very curious I appreciate you very much and I’ll be tuned in for more
I picked up a can of this stuff to feed my dog in case I ran out of food. I make my dogs food usually. Now that meat is ridiculous I buy meat already cooked. It comes out to be more economical by the time I buy everything to go into the food. Im still saving that can. Thanks for showing me what’s inside. It’s to bad folks are being gouged for hamburger. Ground beef is made from scraps of whatever. I do mean what ever! Sometimes you get bone. Those straggly looken things are scraps from Lord only knows what! Want a good grade of ground beef buy ground sirloin, usually there are no foreign pieces to wonder about.
Thanks for the weight and taste test! Great idea. 😁❤️ I would can my own ground beef and pot roast but I dont know how to use a pressure cooker. Scarwy. 😬
These cans are $6.50 at walmart online for me and I'm in silicon valley. Keystone stopped shipping to CA (I bought from them twice before) and they won't give me an anwer why after I asked them twice! Yet, their site sends me reminders I have stuff in my cart. It's ridiculous. Walmart is way cheaper than buying direct for me, anyway Glad the fat comes out like that so I can remove it easily. I HATE any fat on my meat. I always remove it. Glad I found your new channel 30 minutes ago when I searched for you after I realized You disappeared. Thanks for showing!
I do envy you that has so many things to choose between when it comes to canned food. Where I live we have like: meatballs in sauce, ham, chillicorncarne, tuna and tiny tiny packages with chicken. And of course ravioli and small variaty of soup.
I started buying that can for 5.99 before all the price hikes. Hope it is good. I stocked mine in the pantry. Amazon had it for 25.00!! Who is going to pay that???
That juice was out of the meat as it was cold packed at the plant so its weight counts. If you buy a pound and a half of raw beef you will end up with the same results after rendering it down. Save that juice for gravy or soup stock. Haven't seen it in the store for almost 3 years now. And the markup on-line is insane.
I just wonder what is mixed in this product to help make it shelf stable for so long? It must have some kind of fillers to add to the volume of the meat in the can. But $9 for a pound of questionable ground beef…. that seems to be a bit unreasonable. Thanks for sharing the video.
I Don't have that kind but it looks just like it, i don't drain anything off, i just toss the whole thing in a cast iron pan, taco season and away we go, make awesome tacos LOL.
Wow! You are opening the can! Thank you!

I just went back and looked it from L&L boutique marketplace I am in Mobile Alabama and the Walmart I shop at don’t have the ground beef but I didn’t think at the time that when I was online it was from someone else’s thank you for pointing that out to me
@@sherlenewhite584 Yup, after seeing a bunch of people talk about that price I took a look for myself. L&L should kind of be ashamed of themselves. I'll definitely note their name and try to never buy anything from them.
Thanks for sharing haven’t tried the ground beef yet but the shredded beef was really good for a quick pot roast. Can’t
Wait to see the recipe.
Linda, I’ve been buying Keystone meats (chicken & beef) for years. Just recently while I’ve been trying to combine two pantries I came across a case of chicken that I had purchased back in 2009! Gosh w/ a discount that I used back them it was only $129.00!
Anyway last month I opened a can to see if it was still good & my gosh it was! My Walmart just recently restocked their shelves w/ it & I have to say I was surprised that it hadn’t gone up that much in price.
I wish it was here like that😩
I pressure can all my meat, meat stored for Winter use. Pressure canning ground beef is quite common, versus canning meat cubes or fish, unless you're living within the rural northern latitudes. Usually only buy a very small selection of the store bought canned meat for very long term storage. Store bought canned meat usually contains extremely large amounts of fat and sodium. On the flip, your particular store bought canned ground beef can likely be easily rendered of most of the fat, boiling the meat within a good amount of water, then subsequently refrigerating the liquid over night. Looks far better than some of the other more well known store bought canned beef.
Love it! I use all of the contents - the juice for gravy or use in meat recipes.
Out on the road I'd make sloppy Joe's with it. Great item to have. Can't wait to see what you make out of it. Great video. 👍
Thanks Nay Nay💕
Thanks so much for trying this!! Now we all know what it is like!!! 👩🍳. Ps…..it looks really good!!!!!
NM Walmarts just don't carry them in the stores. I found a couple online B4 all these madness. I have them under lock and key.
Great demo - thank you very much - have never seen them on the shelves anywhere here in Central Texas. I think I need a couple - it looks like Keystone might be easier for a meatloaf than freeze dried ground beef
The stuff you can get in the US , we dream about in Canada !
Hereford has some tack beef and beef n been pouches now at Wal-Mart. They ma ke amazing burritos. Hopefully we will see just plain beef soon
It’s what a 2 - 3 hour drive?
Thank's Linda for the demonstration! I have been reluctant to try it. But if my stores get it back in stock, I will surely buy some and try it because of your video.
Thanks
My hubby made beef gravy with onions and mushrooms and added Keystone beef to it. It was delicious served over mashed potatoes! ❤️❤️❤️
I gave you a thumbs up for having a man that cooks! LOL
I have purchased Keystone beef, pork and chicken. It is good stuff but you've got to add your own spices. Most importantly: "Something is better than nothing."
Thanks for this video. I have never bought Keystone but heard they are good and heard it's almost impossible to get ground beef. LOL. We butcher our own steer and this year I canned my own ground beef. I did use one jar that did not seal and it was very tasty and also super easy to use in making spaghetti sauce because I didn't have to really fry it... so a lot less mess.
I think I’m kidding is the best method is definitely cheaper in the taste of the same
Thanks for sharing this with us Linda and I don't have any keystone meats anywhere in my town not at any stores here or my Walmarts stores....wish we did ..but Walmart have cans of meat but it's usually runs chicken or pork but never beef....so the meat hamburger out of cans looks good and you said it smells good....but I don't like smell of tuna bc it stinks to me and the chicken stinks to me too but thats me... I guess....hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself and I know you are Linda keep it up 👍👍🙏😇❤️💖💖. Have a great week! 💖. Take care Linda ☺️
So glad you did this video. I haven't tried it but can't find it in our area. I will order off Amazon.
So glad you are better! It is hard to find that in Florida.
2 years ago I bought my son 12 cans of Keystone ground beef. I ordered it from the Keystone website. They were on sale and half price shipping. I saw an old video that Preppernurse1 did. He and his kids opened a can and ate it.
28 oz keystone beef or ground beef, a pound of dried pinto beans, dried minced onions, granulated garlic, chili powder. 2 -6 oz cans of tomato paste........ makes a large batch of chili. and it is very good,,,,,,, lots of calories and protein,. ( the pork works for this also) I estimate it would prevent starvation for 1 person for at least a full week and you can increase the amount of beans and still have good taste)
👍
It’s crazy that the 28oz only delivers 1lb of beef. I wonder how much meat is in their 14.5oz can, 1/2 pound?
Thanks for the review!
I bought one can but haven't opened it. I've pressure canned lots of ground beef, sausage, pork tenderloin and chicken. A lot of work but glad to have it.
The funny looking pieces is why I stopped buying the ground beef. I couldn't figure out what it was but it was in every can. However, the beef and chicken are VERY good in my opinion!
We have Keystone products in our grab and go kits. We also pressure can 75-80 percent of our meats at bargain prices.
We don't have any Keystone meats here in upstate NY. At least not in my surrounding counties. And ordering from Walmart or Amazon is way too expensive. They want almost $30 for a 28 oz can of beef. When I heard you say you were gonna open that can just for a test, I almost 💩! But I didn't realize you all can get it pretty cheap down south. You're lucky! Congrats to everyone who can prep this golden nugget! 💛 I'm jealous! I can my own beef. Gotta make do with what's available, right? 😁
In my opinion canning your own is a whole lot better than buying the keystone.It’s a lot cheaper too. For those who do not pressure can the keystone is a great way to store meat.
I've seen that too, I'm in MI and get Keystone at the lower price. When you go online at Walmart, on the left side of the screen there should be where you can click on "retailer", and it should drop down. It may show three options: "Walmart", "Pro Seller" and "Marketplace". You always check the Walmart box, and it will remove any merchandise the other two are selling. I've noticed the other two retailers (I think they buy it from Walmart, mark it up, like on Ebay, Amazon and hope someone will make a mistake and buy from them, or Walmart has none in stock and they do, for the high price) have some ridiculous prices for the same items Walmart is still selling for much lower prices. If you have a Walmart login, don't use it, just try going to Walmart.com unidentified and put in Keystone canned meat and see how it comes up. Also, the best by date on the Keystone is 5 years, but I've used can's that are 7-8 years old that were still good. I never buy from the other overpriced retailers on the Walmart web site. Good luck!
@@kibblenbits I think it’s a shame that Walmart Amazon and companies like that allow third-parties on their websites price gouging their customers.
Linda. Thank you so much for making this video. I have always wondered what the Keystone ground beef was like. I have never bought any so it is nice to know it would be worth the $. Have a blessed day!
I had the regular beef today without expecting it to be good and was really surprised.
Keystone is very good I would compare it exactly to home canned meat.
Good to know. I have been buying whatever I can find. Figured I could make sloppy Joe's, soup, spaghetti with meat sauce with the ground beef.
There is so much we can make out of ground beef.
Tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, burritos. Mix it with scrambled eggs and some chopped veggies to make a breakfast casserole.
I’ve eaten the ground beef and it is nothing to brag about. The texture is soft and soggy, there is a lot of fluid in the can and the flavor is bland. It has great shelf life and is a good prep to have for when the food chain collapses. 😳
I cannot find it 😢. Thank You Linda for the review!
I like keystone and have both types of beef and their chicken on the shelf. It's good but it's pricey even before the plan-demic kicked in but worth it. For for those folks who are not able to do home canning it's a wonderful alternative so I would say thumbs up to keystone and thumbs up to you Linda for showing this one. I cant wait to see just what your going to make with it.
Thanks Glenn☺️
Iv tried the other beef from keystone, and Im so impressed that tomorrow and Im going to they're site and buying 12 different cans and 20 of the chicken and beef bullion to put away. Way cheaper then other companies that have the canned meat
Thanks Linda. I have some put up but haven't tried it. I'll get more but it's hard to find. Amazon is crazy priced.
It tastes very good.
(but I add garlic salt to just about everything, so it might not taste the same to others)
I guess my comment didn’t register but I just joined your channel just found you actually and I do appreciate you opening the meat so I can see I’ve been very curious I appreciate you very much and I’ll be tuned in for more
Hello Glenda,welcome and thank you for subscribing to the channel.🤗🌺
I picked up a can of this stuff to feed my dog in case I ran out of food. I make my dogs food usually. Now that meat is ridiculous I buy meat already cooked. It comes out to be more economical by the time I buy everything to go into the food. Im still saving that can. Thanks for showing me what’s inside. It’s to bad folks are being gouged for hamburger. Ground beef is made from scraps of whatever. I do mean what ever! Sometimes you get bone. Those straggly looken things are scraps from Lord only knows what! Want a good grade of ground beef buy ground sirloin, usually there are no foreign pieces to wonder about.
Wow! Thank you for showing us this. Looks delicious.
Thanks for the weight and taste test! Great idea. 😁❤️ I would can my own ground beef and pot roast but I dont know how to use a pressure cooker. Scarwy. 😬
It’s not scary at all we just need to jump in there and do it. You will be so glad you did.
I keep this in my pantry for those crazy nights when I have no time to cook from scratch. Makes a quick chili, sloppy Joe etc for a crowd fast
We had it this week as open roast beef plate. My husband loved it. Will stock up on more.
I simply cannot afford it in my limited budget. I can my own and hopefully that will be enough. Thank you for sharing.
My opinion the taste is the same but the price is different home canning is definitely the best way to go.
The stuff costs a fortune! I'd rather buy an entire roast. LOL
Even the juices of keystone beef is delicious !
It's basically a beef stock. I mean... it's just the natural juices (water and fats) and some salt.
These cans are $6.50 at walmart online for me and I'm in silicon valley. Keystone stopped shipping to CA (I bought from them twice before) and they won't give me an anwer why after I asked them twice! Yet, their site sends me reminders I have stuff in my cart. It's ridiculous. Walmart is way cheaper than buying direct for me, anyway Glad the fat comes out like that so I can remove it easily. I HATE any fat on my meat. I always remove it. Glad I found your new channel 30 minutes ago when I searched for you after I realized You disappeared. Thanks for showing!
💕🤗
The broth that came out looks good too, I just kept thinking ….GRAVY. Yum….lol. Thanks Linda
The juices and fat are amazing! Add wonders to any soup or stew. The other day I made spanish rice, added so much.
Thank You!! I would save the liquid. It’s practically a broth!! Better in soup than water I bet! Freeze it and use it.
Cant wait to see your recipe! Love the Keystone
Thanks 😊
Very helpful!
Keystone is good
But way overpriced...
Thanks Linda, been canning ground beef, love the taste and the convenience,
Linda, thank you for doing what I only think about doing!
Thank you Loretta🌸
Thanks! I was wondering myself!
I do envy you that has so many things to choose between when it comes to canned food. Where I live we have like: meatballs in sauce, ham, chillicorncarne, tuna and tiny tiny packages with chicken. And of course ravioli and small variaty of soup.
There definitely nice to have such a good selection however things here are getting slower by the day
I eat Keystone all the time, have for years. Great to add to "meals in a bag" for shut-ins, or for "new dad bags"
Just found out about this product when i was searching for canned beef. Wanted to know more so I searched on yt and here i am.
Like the way you explain your videos! Baby doll
I still have not been able to find that. It looked good. Thank you for a great video.
I hope you are getting around ok🙏
@@lindasprepperkitchen not yet....still stuck in bed...I go back to the surgeon Tuesday
@@craftsbeautyandlife5163 praying for you.
Apparently it is. I have never been able to buy any of it. It's always sold out in stores and online.
I've tried the shredded beef and pork but haven't tried this one. Will have to give it a try!
can you use the can liquid and fat drippings to make gravy?
I ordered 2 cases from Keystone. 3 cans weren’t sealed and 7 cans dented. Dealing with that issue now
I never could find the Ground Beef unless it was super over-priced. It is now in stock at keystonemeats, I got mine, ready to try it !!!
It taste just like home canned ground beef. It’s yummy
I started buying that can for 5.99 before all the price hikes. Hope it is good. I stocked mine in the pantry. Amazon had it for 25.00!! Who is going to pay that???
That juice was out of the meat as it was cold packed at the plant so its weight counts. If you buy a pound and a half of raw beef you will end up with the same results after rendering it down. Save that juice for gravy or soup stock. Haven't seen it in the store for almost 3 years now. And the markup on-line is insane.
Good stuff!
Too expensive for me !
Why? What are your costs for refrigeration, also spoilage? This isn't a replacement for when fresh is easily available.
Order it directly from Keystone Meats, much cheaper. Knocks off 1/3 price over wally world
Just looked on Walmart site - the price is 47.00. WOW!
Watched how its made, how i heard of it. They're proud of it on Amazon, haven't looked in Walmart.
I just wonder what is mixed in this product to help make it shelf stable for so long? It must have some kind of fillers to add to the volume of the meat in the can. But $9 for a pound of questionable ground beef…. that seems to be a bit unreasonable. Thanks for sharing the video.
We live app 22 miles from the Keystone plant in Lima OH. Buying by the case is possible affording us good prices.
I use this... good stuff
I can't find it anywhere????
I Don't have that kind but it looks just like it, i don't drain anything off, i just toss the whole thing in a cast iron pan, taco season and away we go, make awesome tacos LOL.
Do you use this to make hash or meatloaf?
