Prepper Pantry Meal Ideas With Food Storage pantry clean out meals from food stockpile hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper here are some of the meals that I make with my food storage
stockpile it'll help give you some ideas of how you might combine pantry foods make meals put
your food together try not to just buy random foods that you don't really know what you're
going to do with them because they get pushed to the back of the pantry and they might get wasted
I like canned chicken you can buy it in two different sizes depending on the amount that
you want in a recipe and the size of your family plan meals to fit your family what can you do with
a can of chicken you can make a jar of alfredo sauce and now you have chicken alfredo and you can
serve it with some vegetables you can also add the chicken into foods like yellow rice and maybe even
add a little bit of hot sauce I made a chicken with some cilantro lime rice a roni mix and some
black beans and this was really good pasta salad mixes you can add chicken to that and even a can
of beans you can make an easy three bean salad with some Italian dressing and a three bean
mix that's already in the can you drain the beans pour over the dressing you have a three bean salad
what can you do with a can of cream of something soup you can mix it together with some of your
canned meats and pour it over mashed potatoes add a side of vegetables you can also take some of the
beef and vegetable soup mixes serve that over some mashed potatoes or you can serve chunky soup over
rice or even over noodles depending on what you have on hand and what you care to eat
canned roast beef is the same way this comes with beef and gravy already in it you can serve it over
the mashed potatoes you can add a can of beans make it into a casserole add some macaroni there
are all different ways to take these foods and make them into a meal but have an idea don't just
buy cans of food that you don't know come up with a few ideas of how you can serve those together
I have cans of lentil soup lentil soup is great served over a bowl of rice I have chicken and
sausage gumbo soup that's great served over some pasta or some rice try a can of fire roasted
tomatoes and add some red beans maybe some black beans kidney beans a couple of cans of beans and
you have a quick chili if you have some hamburger on hand brown it up or get it out of the freezer
add it in and then if you want more spices add some more spices to it I like to add a can of
chicken with a can of white beans and some green salsa for an easy white chicken chili you can have
pasta noodles on hand store them in an airtight container though and then they're going to last
nearly forever and all you need then with your pasta is some sauce and maybe some shelf stable
cheese it can be as simple as adding just two or three things together and you have something
that you can eat from your pantry for very little cooking and not very much money there are lots of
different foods varieties make sure you get some fruits and vegetables different kinds of beans
and things you can also look for varieties that have no salt and low fat read the labels so that
they have the ingredients that you're looking for make sure you're getting enough protein
not too much sodium and any food allergies read the labels for those ingredients here we go again
back in the back of my pantry I found two cans of apricots that have bulged and this one is leaking
and I could smell something like sweet in the pantry but I wasn't sure what it was and then I
found these two lurking in the back a suggestion help keep pantry shelves clean that I have is to
take some wax paper and lay it on your shelf then when you have this kind of a situation happens
it's easy to just pull out the cans take out the wax paper and your shelf then is clean you can put
down more wax paper and add your cans we all run into this where we think we're rotating everything
and we're using what we need but sometimes foods just get put in the back and the thing that I've
had the most trouble with year after year is fruit that's gotten to its expiration date
and somehow we didn't use it or it was pushed in the back and got lost I thought I didn't
have any more fruit in that particular cabinet and yet I found these in there just yesterday
so keep rotating your foods and keep your eye on especially canned foods like fruits because they
just don't last like meats can I've got canned tuna from 2013 that's still perfectly fine
but not these apricots these are some of the meal ideas of how I put the foods together I don't just
buy random foods I try to buy foods knowing how I plan to use them there are all kinds of
reasons why you need to have extra food on hand so stock up while things are readily available so
you'll always be able to have the things that you need stockpile long term food storage if
