When a recipe states that it’s quick, easy, and delicious, my first response is typically skepticism. Quick and delicious? Sounds too good to be true. I’ve certainly made some things that have fallen short, but with the right ingredients and recipe, there really are painless and delicious meals out there. Here are just a few that I’ve tried that have been approved by the whole family--including myself, as the cook! What’s the secret? Canned meat. If you haven’t cooked with canned meat before, you may be apprehensive, but I assure you, with these recipes, you won’t be able to taste any difference and you’ll love the time you save. Lehman’s has several options for canned meat: beef, pork, turkey, and chicken. Regardless of the type, the key when using the meat is to drain and rinse it before cooking to rid it of any excess fat. To do so, I use a mesh strainer from Lehman’s. Here are some of the recipes that I enjoyed: [tasty-recipe id="37473"] [tasty-recipe id="37566"] [tasty-recipe id="37567"]

These first three recipes are all ones that I made immediately before serving. The sauce for the Turkey Fettucine can be frozen and used at a later time, but I would recommend eating the salads fresh. These next three recipes were just as loved and are also great for restocking the freezer!

I can’t emphasize enough how pleased I am with how each and every one of these recipes turned out. My family and guests loved each of them, and my freezer is stocked with plenty of leftovers, too! I’ll be sure to keep canned meat on hand from here on out.
