Don’t forget to add the amount you need in gallon or bottled water so the water you need for the recipe isn’t from anyone’s drinking water stash.
Cool! Using your milk jugs!!
I'd recommend writing the expiration date of whichever ingredient expires first on the outside of each meal kit bag so you know when you need to use it by or when to purchase new ingredients for it. I really like this idea and need to implement it at my house! Thanks for sharing this.
Don't forget to pack plastic silverware & napkins and hand wipes.
Genius, thank you
These would be good to put in mini pantrys, (blessing boxes) , put together for a family in need, someone that has had surgery and can't shop, or someone learning how to cook. Or take to a school to distribute for families that have food insecurity. You can call a local school and ask, The administration would know who to give them to. You always have such great content.
Excellent ideas!
Oh Blessing boxes...we have one in our town. Great idea!
I would laminate those printed recipes. That way they could be reused. And you could also use a dry erase marker on them if needed.
What a great idea! You could write the expiration dates of each ingredient in the current bag so you can easily see what needs to get used. 😊
@@Eeeekamouse thank you.
SHARPIE MARKER !!!!!! I write the "best by" year LARGE on packages of food in my emergency bin, so it is super easy to rotate items. (No reading glasses needed!) Also , I put a reminder on my phone for once a quarter (every three months) to do a quick check on/rotate of thingss in my bin.
Bear Creek dry soup mixes are a must have item for prepping. You add water and heat. That’s it. You can always jazz them up with extra meats or veggies. My personal favorite is the creamy chicken.
My family loves the cheese potato soup . I suggest you add a little bit of diced ham and yummy!
Your bin idea for emergencies has been something that I have contemplated doing for a while now. I think you gave me the push to actually do it. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
I’ve heard it’s good to keep candy in your long term emergency storage for a once in a while treat to keep in good spirits. I suppose it’s good in an emergency kit like that also for someone who gets low blood sugar. A life saver candy would help in a pinch
I have to say, honestly, you are looking noticeably less stressed in this video. Might be my imagination, but after your announcement, I imagine things are weighing a bit less heavily on you. It's good to see, and I'm so glad for you guys!
During “Snowmagedon “ in Feb 2020 when we were out of power for three days we got a lot of use from our stovetop kettle. Since we had a gas stove and matches, we heated water and stayed warm all day eating instant oatmeal, instant soup, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea.
Better put an emergency nail file in that box 😆
Thank you for doing another video on this topic. Our daughter plays travel sports and sometimes the places we stay don't have refrigerators. Having shelf stable ingredients that I can put together and cook in our instant pot have saved us so much money! I always need new ideas. Our family of 6 thanks you.
That's genius!
@sarahconnor64 Thanks!! Totally saves time, too, cooking while everyone else is showering, napping, etc.
That's a great idea 💡 😊
Keystone meats are premium quality and last 5 years at least. I recommend all the varieties for long term food storage.
Never been able to find the Keystone beef in Memphis 😭 have been looking for the past 5 years
@@MsAudreyDavis Amazon has it, Several choices of meats.
The cooked ground beef is actually fairly good.
Keystone meats are fantastic!
How convenient that she posted this immediately after I searched for emergency meal kit ideas! I really hate the way our small town food pantry operates (associated with Feeding America if I'm remembering correctly) because they want so much information from people just to provide a box of food. I can't really imagine someone (who has just realized they don't have enough food for their kids to last til next payday) having to stress about all the documents needed, dealing with their limited hours of operation, then possibly going and hearing they make a few dollars too much or whatever! I want to start something that provides food to anyone that says "I need food, I don't have enough right now", whether it's every week or just one hard week out of their life.
God bless you.
I am the primary cook in my house and I know when I am out of town my spouse tends to eat out or order in way too much because it is easier. I am going to implement this idea for him so at least he has an easy option instead of just ordering out. Also, LOVE the idea of snack bags. How many times am I running errands and pick up something to eat because I ignored the idea that I was going to be out for several hours. To have a to go snack bag would be ideal to throw in my purse.
As a PREPPER, that Keystone isn’t easy to find and it’s top notch!
I made those bags up for my 20-something year old boys for an added Christmas presents, with recipes.
I love these ideas and the fact that they are ORGANIZED into bags to save time/money/energy because when we need them, it stands to reason that it will boost morale if we know for sure we have everything we need to feed our families a decent meal without having to look through what we have and figure out what ingredients to put with what. What comfort. Thank you so much Mindy. I now realize I def need to do this and work on organizing the pantry better. ❤
I throw in instant coffee, disposable plates, bowls, cups and silverware with a garbage bag and a roll of paper towels. This way we aren't searching for supplies if we are tired or it's late when the power goes out.
Keystone meats are awesome! They are canned near me about 40 miles away here in Ohio. Great for making fast tacos!
I've been doing Hello Fresh for several years and I really love it. I only get a box about once a month but I love the convenience of getting a box on busy weeks.
We use canned plain lentils most of the time for any recipe that calls for ground beef like tacos, spaghetti, shepherd’s pie etc…never without and costs much less.
For fun I looked online at my Walmart for the canned ground beef-$21.47 for the same size can and it has to be shipped! BAHAHA!!! As a suggestion even though it is not "shelf stable" pre cook some ground beef and freeze it when there is a sale you can bulk/batch cook it. Then if you have an emergency or you are just pressed for time you can pull out already cooked meat to help speed along the process. These bins of emergency meals help in so many ways and EVERYONE should have some. I have heard of people using them during a job loss or medical emergency. And if you watch sales you can put them together for less than you think. Mindy is simply amazing in the way she puts together these videos and relates to us:) Mindy, I wish you would do a collaboration video with Southern Frugal Momma! You both make my days:) Hugs
I checked my Walmart app and it also says the $21.97 to be shipped but my store does have it for about $9 a can.
My Walmart app has the 28 oz Keystone for just under $9 and the Lehman's brand is $22.98 and yes, 3 day shipping! Keystone is just fine, LOL!
You can pressure can meats yourself. I have ground beef, turkey, sausage & beef roast. Add a jar to your other ingredients for a meal. I have canned veggies, ready rice or instant mashed potatoes, pasta, & bread mixes.
I actually like the canned roast beef. I put together with beef gravy and serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles with a side of green beans. I make meals like this for car camping road trips in the fall. Among other meals of course.
PS. I love your snack bags. Great choices.
I actually love to get canned roast beef and cook up some egg noodles, add the undrained roast beef and some beef broth salt and pepper, great for a low effort dinner
I saw in your video that they also sold the beef in a can. You can use that for beef stew with canned potatoes, carrots, peas, etc. You can also do like a tuna salad or chicken salad and crackers. Chili with the canned ground beef, canned tomatoes and can of beans. The options are endless!
Thanks for sharing!
I bought my crank radio from Amazon a couple years ago. Mine has the crank, a solar panel, and the USB port. I love to use it when I'm doing yard work, as long as I keep it in the sun. Love your emergency meal kits and the snack bags are pure genius, even if they aren't used for an emergency.
You're really blessed to have Keystone Ground Beef in your store.
Keystone canned meats are expensive to order online. They were almost impossible to find a few years ago. They have other canned meats also.
You've inspired me to take care of my family beyond what I could have imagined! Thank you for these videos
Thank you for sharing - we live in SWFLA and every year I get together my hurricane food - I have never seen the ground beef but will be adding that this year. I love the idea of putting each meal separately, I just usually fill the shelves in the garage.
Thanks for reminding us about emergency preparedness. I usually cook meat and dairy-free.
I have a separate emergency box for my dog with a 10lb bag of food, some treats, an extra leash and collar, dog aspirin, first aid, and a can of pumpkin in case he gets tummy troubles. My dog is 70-ish pounds. We cycle through the food when we go RV camping. I need to add something he can chew on during a stressful time, a small tarp to be on or under and something to pick up after him.
They are also great meals that kids can put together. It's empowering for older kids to prepare a whole meal for their family. When I was growing up, from the age of 12 on, I was responsible for one dinner each week for our family. I loved it and my grandmother really enjoyed the opportunity to teach me how to cook, and the lessons I learned then I have used for the rest of my life. I wish I had done this with my own kids -- this is one area where I really missed the boat.
Add vinegar to the canned cream for a sour cream substitute. Canned beef is wonderful to have on hand. I get mine from the packing house. I buy several meats from the same place. Canned meat is more expensive than regular meat. I keep it for my storm supplies. This keeps my menus as normal as possible during a stressful time
Keystone meats are great! Several years ago I called the company because their expiration dates were hard to decipher (they've changed that now) and the lady I talked to said they put the raw meat in the can with a salt tablet on top, seal it, and cook it in the can. No added stuff is great for me and my food allergies.
Thanks for sharing ideas I need to set up an emergency bin for food and car emergency.
Once I heard on the radio here in the Carolinas. Buy at least 3 manual can openers Incase one breaks you have extra and one year after about 3 storms over the years before I noticed I had 5 can openers 😄
Just a heads-up don't forget to add a bottle of water with each EMG
Bags❤
So the roast beef is right up your alley. It’s a great meal stretcher. Make a rue w butter and flour. Add milk then after it’s thick add your broth from roast beef and shred beef. Serve over toast or biscuits. A version of sos. Also do same w noodles and broth gravy instead of milk gravy. You will like it. I canned tons of ground beef during pandemic at great price. My daughter has 7 children and I have been able to bless her family and my son’s family many times with that beef. Her basement flooded during a recent unusually heavy rainstorm. No flood insurance. Mama brings out the beef🤣🤣🤣
That Keystone ground beef is wonderful! Meaty spaghetti sauce, shepherd's pie, hamburger soup, chili. Anything that uses cooked ground beef.
I would recommend you trying on canning a few things. Like jams or tomatoes if you have a garden or access to a farmers market in the warmer months. I'm learning and it's WAY easier than I thought.
❤I like this idea. I think i will make some reusable net bags that would be see through but more durable. I have to travel tomorrow to a place that has no nearby grocery store, i will put a kit together to take with me. Good ideas. ❤
I’m going out of country for a month. Staying with friends in a condo where grocery stores not in area. Since I don’t want to go out for every meal every day, I’m putting together a list of non perishables I can bring in a second suitcase. Fish will be readily available as eggs. So I ordered powered cheese Amazon ,Peanut butter, jam, almond butter , dried pastas , dehydrated tomatoes, fruits and veggy jerky to have on hand . I can whip up lunch in a flash with staples . Hoping to be able to get some fresh produce and cheese butter etc Thx for ideas!!!
Keystone ground beef in the large can is considered the unicorn of canned meat. It’s generally hard to find! I believe the top of that radio is also a small solar panel so you could charge it that way and not have to crank it for five hours
These would also be good for when you have been eating the same things over and over. Grab one that has the quickest use by date and you’ll likely have a meal that you haven’t had in a while. Meal burn out is a thing. Then replace the meal you ate.
Oh that’s a great point! I hadn’t thought of that!
Yes! Was thinking exactly this!
Southern Frugal Momma on UA-cam has great emergency meal ideas as well
I have never found a store brand of velveeta that was decent. There's just something about that taste they can't duplicate.
Agreed!!! Not worth trying to save a few bucks.
I agree!
Oh, add a tablespoon of taco seasoning to your green chili chicken . Delicious 😋.
This is such a great idea ! You need to test your stove though, even if it is gas. A lot of the gas stoves have an electric igniter and the safety standard is that the gas won’t light if there is not electricity for the igniter to work. This was something I had never thought of before !
That’s interesting! Thanks for the tip. We had no trouble lighting ours manually a few years ago when we lost power in the winter.
@@SeeMindyMom that’s great !!! I sure miss my gas stove, we are all electric in this house and I hate it !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Great idea. In my area our biggest weather issue is hurricanes which leave us without power for days or weeks. I am always scrambling to cook my perishable foods before they spoil. Thankfully I also have a gas cooktop so I can cook. Although it is usually 90+ degrees and cooking inside is pretty miserable.
ILL FILL YOU IN ON KEYSTONE MEAT I GREW UP GOING TO THE BUTCHER SHOP THERE MEATS ARE LOCALLY RAISED AND PROCESSED. THERE MEATS ARE VERY VERY GOOD. IT IS FAMILY OWNED AND OERATED.
I did look them up and found the same things! That made me feel good about that purchase. 😊
@@SeeMindyMom GLAD YOU DID WE USE TO TAKE OUT BEEF THERE FOR PROCESSING WHEN I WAS A KID .LOL
I really enjoy your content and I like that you show your unfiltered, beautiful face, it's so refreshing and relatable!
They also make the ground beef in a 15 oz can
Oh thanks for the video! Your bin at the beginning looks like my emergency kit backpacks. I just bought the stuff and that's where I am. I have to do some sorting now!
I highly recommend the Keystone canned meats. They are high quality and they have a super long shelf life. I haven’t tried the ground beef but the chicken and beef are both so good.
I’m sure you have this covered, but don’t forget emergency water!
I use all keystone meats a lot. But one suggestion on the ground beef you need to drain the meat once heated just like any ground beef
That Keystone can meat is really good . I have the turkey and chicken. It is excellent.
Great Info, considering what our country is going through right now. Thanks for the Ideas 😊 I will definitely be doing this.
Dear Mindy, i love,love,love how you keep it so real! Including the broken fingernail! Great ideas and yes they work out while camping,power outage. I have a portable propane stove. Works out great and having capsule meals helps take the panic out of anxiety!
With the can of hamburger you have a lot of possibilities.. spaghetti, chili, chili mac. I just learned this past year to Home Can my ground beef it's not too hard honestly once people get over the fear of a pressure canner and that Keystone brand? I have to smile they use to have cans twice that size for $10 years back "shrinkflation" but hey it gives variety to meal planning and is a great part of the emergency stash. Anna In Ohio
This is a great idea!! And I live your sister's shoebox, too! I've thought about doing something similar for my siblings and parents.
I just live your recipes and how you keep us on our toes with great meal plans for every occurrence! Love the rains also as it reminds me of younger days! My mom gave me a box a day!
On the Hispanic section look for Chilorio.... is ready to reheat and eat.. we ate it as burrito... or taquitos... or even in scrambled eggs... it came either in a can or a bag package.. is really good and tasty...give it a chance
Thank you!! I've seen it at my Walmart and wasn't sure about. I'll have to get some! Does it have a similar flavor to chorizo maybe?
I purchased a can of Roast Beef because diring the pandemic we learned " whats a comfort zone "? So, I purchased my first can of beef. When I used it to make a Cottage Pie I found our how delicious it was ! And, it came from Walmart
Maybe include some canned fruit or even some pudding cups or pouches for something sweet. Oops! Missed things at the end
I have used that ground beef in spaghetti. It is delicious! You will like any of the Keystone meats!
Thank you for sharing all of these recipes, and ideas, I'm actually going to buy stuff today to make a box for our household today, and the flashlight/ battery radio, first aid kit........ I just never really thought about making up whole meals that require no refrigeration, thank you so much!!! Chili would be another easy one too, and I have water stored in glass jars in my pantry, when I empty out my quart jars I fill them with water, so I don't waste space storing an empty jar.......❤
This reminds me, I need to start prepping for hurricane season.
Thank you for this video! It will be a great starting place for me to get our family prepared for an emergency situation.
Your Almond Joy comment cracked me up! I love them but it tickles me how some people just can't stand them. But seriously, I found this video so helpful, it's a great reminder to get some emergency supplies together. Thank you!
My 10yo son loves almond joys! They’re not my fave, tho. 😂
Don't be embarrassed it means that you're actually going through your stock instead of leaving it until it's expired. Plenty of other UA-camrs talk about prepping but it's never in a realistic manner or useful.
Great ideas. But you left out a great canned protein-Salmon. The recipes for this are endless. Please look into it. 👍
Great video. I have a lot of pantry items but still haven't made a tote of meals. I will be doing that this week. Thank you!
Great for preparing for a newborn in the house too!
Not as nutritious, but the absolute best thing to pair with the little pb servings is a fun size bag of M&Ms. That’s been one of my favorite snacks for years- just dump them in and eat with a spoon 😋
That is genius! Like a reeses pb cup!
Can't believe you had never tried the Keystone canned meats. They are all good. I pressure can all our meat but we keep a few cans of Keystone on hand too. For those that can, I make canned burritos in a jar, hamburger patties, beef stew, soups, bacon, sausage pot roasts etc. So we always have jars we can just open and heat.always good to be prepared!
The canned roast beef is excellent with some bbq sauce on bread. Yum
Love your hair! Very flattering!
Oh thank you!
I live by myself and about two hours away from a proper grocery store (we have a dollar store) so buying any sort of produce is difficult. The stores being so far away, you'd want to buy in bulk to make up for the long drive and gas cost. But since I'm alone, fresh food goes bad before I can eat it all. These are such great ideas, and honestly they are very cheap too.
Instead of just the canned sliced carrots for the chicken soup, I found some cans of veg-all at walmart (I think there's a store brand too) that have all kinds of veggies and it tasted great!
Thank you for the great video! Super helpful, especially for people in my sort of situation
You have to try Great Value canned diced ham. Oh My! So good. We have Spam, Canned Ham, Canned roast beef, Tuna, Chicken and Dak & Brookdale canned ham. I am a huge fan of shelf stable meals. Over the years there have been times that we were so grateful to have them. Just finished one on Facebook through my Kitchen Creations. I am by no way on your level but I am learning lots.
I wish the Keystone meats were sold in my Walmart but alas they aren't, I heard about them about a year ago, I do keep the shelf stable milk from the Dollar Tree on hand it is good. I have several items in my pantry, I think I will get some bags and make some meals like this.
Can you also a video with meals that can be made without stove. Some apartments have induction stove which will be affected with electricity loss.
All of the Keystone meat is really good! I use it all the time and have some for food storage! It is PERFECT for these emergency meals!
I think you were the one who recommended Lazy Day Cooking Club. I am really like it! My friend had me look at Hello Fresh and the only onion free meals were things I could easily put together myself. If you have a normal dietary restriction, Hello Fresh would probably be good. Anything with proportioned spices or broth are probably going to have onion.
My family loves that ground beef and the cheaper small cans of Walmart ground beef . Great in soup, beef and noodles, beef sloppy Joe, spaghetti in beef/ tomatoes sauce . Stuffed cabbage rolls, this meat can be used for anything you want . Also, try the Walmart cornbeef hash, but not Hormel it's grease and has a bad after taste. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
I like the idea of the table cream to use as heavy cream.
I can meat all the time. Try the regular beef. It’s so good!
Those can meats are delicious.. I have use the beef, the pork and the chicken to make empanadas.. You should laminate the recipe sheets for long term use..
I'm so fascinated by the canned ground beef!!
that ground beef is awesome to cook with..so is the ground pork, beef chunks in gravy, I've even found whole can chicken(bones included)
i have even drained and froze the broth/fat as well as the unused portions..i will use 1/4-1/2 can at a time for my meals
We have used the canned pulled pork. It’s not bad. We added bbq sauce and made sandwiches.
Are you aware that store brand vs brand name are processed at the same facility? Just labeled differently. Also a manual can opener for those meal kits
Augason Farms Cheese Blend Powder is a win win win. You can put it in your own individual baggies for the Emergency Bin . (Velveeta I threw in the garbage :(
Keystone is a local meat market in my area. They have great canned meat and fresh meat. 😊
Love these meal ideas for emergency .
Hormel Compleat Meals are pre-made and they come in a variety of flavors. Chef Boyardee. Dinty Moore has some good canned meals that are ready to eat but also has a few blister pack meals if you want something smaller too.
Almond Joy, YUM!! Velvetta Cheese is the only cheese I use for Mac and Cheese. I’ve eaten other people’s Mac and cheese with various other cheeses but they just don’t measure up in my book. Whenever I take it to a social function I always get compliments and the dish usually comes home emptied of its contents 😊. You may already know this fact but Dollar Tree sells 2.5 gallon bags and there are 6 bags per box. They do have the slider top. I use them for storing clothes, arts and craft supplies, seasonal items, etc, etc. Some of the Keystone meats also come in a 14.5 oz can. I’ve never found the ground beef here in the central part of KY but have the chicken, pork and regular beef. It wasn’t quite as expensive prior to the pandemic but like everything else the cost has increased substantially. Still worth having in the pantry. Have a great rest of the week!
Agree on Velveeta and actually the Aldi brand is pretty good. I'm not big on generics at WM but I do like Aldi.
Thank you, great video and tips!❤
Keystone is an excellent brand.
These are great ideas. I grew up in a pretty rural area and we lost power frequently. We always tried to use up our perishable items in the fridge first so we wouldn't have to discard them. You just want to be mindful that you're not leaving the fridge open too long to keep as much cold air as possible in there.
