A couple years ago, we bought a freeze dryer. I'll make a big pot of elk stew and dry it. It's not bad and it won't go bad after a couple years. Also, my wife makes sort of a stew in a jar that she cans. Elk or chicken with spuds, carrots, beans, onions, etc. It's very good and will keep as long as canned stew.

Like any canned food, if you doctor it up a little or a lot, it will be a lot better. Mom used to doctor up a can of Dinty Moore with a can of green beans, some spices and it was awfully good. I do the same things now, with just about everything I fix (I do the cooking here). Last night, as an example, I made a packet of Knorr's Spanish Rice and when it got done, I dumped a can of Hormel chili into that, added some cheese and sour cream, and it was more than edible, and filling. Not especially gourmet stuff, but cheap to fix and it filled the guts.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
Who remembers this commercial? The Chas- Diana pair made me laugh.

Funny you should ask. Tried some Dinty Moore just last week. Ate lots of it years ago and seemed to remember it being pretty good. Last week tried it again just for old times. Not the same stuff. Runny goopy slop.
I just had some last night. I pour it over toast, like schidt on a shingle. When I'm feeling fancy I'll pour it over a couple pieces of Texas garlic toast.
But it is not the same as it was. Someone mentioned the beef is like little pressed hamburger looking things. They are not very good in flavor or texture.

After walking your nackers off and your cold, hungry and tired, pop the lid, stick ot on the stove, salt the dog pizz out of it and slam it. Lots of good stuff in there. I prefer the add hot water freeze dried stuff, but hey, when your hungry and just want to crawl in the sack, can beat it. Oh, don't forget the saltines and a beer. I call them cool water sandwiches lol.
