I purchased to stock pantry. They arrived dented, one was dented right at the top edge of the kid, so I used it up in case it developed a leak or went bad somehow. It also have me a taste of the product, since I hadn't had it before. It comes in chunks of meat with the consistency and look of pot roast. I peed the meat and juices into a pan, heated it up good, broke up some of the bigger chunks with a fork, them used some milk and floor to make a gravy which had plenty of juice without adding any. You need spices,I used garlic powder and a couple others with salt and pepper. I also added a can of corn to the mixture. Served over rice, was pretty tasty, my wife liked it too. But at 11 bucks a can, it's not something I'd buy for everyday use, but in a survival type setting it would be worth much more. Long term storage is why I bought it, but happy to try out a can. As described above, I think it would feed 6 people.

After reading other reviews, I was nervous about ordering - but the main competitor had the same complaints about product arriving in damaged cans and this had better reviews for taste. Happy to say this arrived in great shape!! Was buying for long term stock and was pleased to see the expiration date was the full 5 years in the future (4 years, 10 months to be exact). Very pleased!

I purchased this canned beef because of a story my husband has been telling me about his grandpa for years. His grandma had made canned beef and noodles for every meal, (yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner.....every day!), for his grandpa, along with the normal foods that a person would make for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even on holidays, right next to the turkey, there was canned beef with noodles!
I was a bit sceptical, I admit, that a person could crave this with every meal. Upon receipt of the canned beef I immediately made the beef and noodles, (after years of hearing this story, I wanted answers). I was so much more than pleasantly surprised!!! Shocked in fact, by the flavor, and now by the fear that I may be developing the taste for beef and noodles with every meal!!!!
Now, unfortunately, for our family, the canned beef is for special occasions ONLY! I must tell those of you who ponder the purchase, or might be a bit hesitant to purchase "meat in the can", there is NO PONDERING necessary!!! Buy all you can get!!!!

I made a baked potato with everything and added this beef. OMG! I was hooked. I've used it mixed with rice, over toast like an opened faced hot sandwich. I love this stuff.

Price is a bit high. Fat content is low and can be skimmed off the top easily. Versatile in casseroles, soups, gravies, stews, almost anywhere.
