Easy Canned Meat Recipes

Things I've come up with on lazy days and for work lunch.

Tuna Salad- 1 can of tuna, 1tbsp of miracle whip, 1tbsp of relish or chopped onion. Mix well. (Makes 2-3 bandster meals)

chicken Salad- 1 can of chunk chicken, 1tbsp of miracle whip, 1tbsp of relish or chopped onion. Mix well. (Makes 2-3 bandster meals)

Egg Salad- 1 hardboiled egg, 1/2-1tbsp of miracle whip, 1/2-1tbsp of relish, dash of salt & papper. Mix well, sprinkle paprika on top. (Serves 1)

Ham Yum Yum- 1 can of chunk ham (I really advise cooking the ham first, via microwave or skillet.. its very gellatenous(sp) otherwise). Mix with 1tbsp of applesauce. (Makes 2-3 bandster meals)

Turkey Yum Yum- 1 can of chunk turkey (cold or hot), mix with 1tbsp of cranberry sauce (jelly). (Makes 2-3 bandster meals)

Ham Salad- 1 can of chunk ham (again, do yourself a favor and heat this up!!), mix with 1tbsp of miracle whip (or mayo, but MW is lower in calories), chopped onion (as much as you like, I love onion so I put a good amount in there..and red onion is best in this recipe), 1/2tbsp of relish, salt & pepper. (Makes 3-4 bandster meals)

Chicken & Dumplings- 2 cans of chunk chicken (or 1 big can from Sam's), 2x 14oz cans of chicken broth (I used 3c of Water and 2 chicken bouillion cubes). Bring broth to a boil in a pot, add chicken, cook for a little bit till its all nice and hot- add salt, pepper, garlic salt (and I like a dash of thyme). Mix 2/3c of biscuit mix (I prefer bisquick) and 1/3c of skim milk. Drop in small balls of dough into the broth. Sprinkle with more garlic salt, and a dash of paprika. Cook 10 minutes uncovered, then 10 minutes covered. I add a little corn starch to the broth to make it more of a gravy and in retrospect we had way too much broth, so maybe try cutting that in half. (Made approximately 4 unbanded servings)

All of these things reheat well. They don't all LOOK good the next day but once you nuke it, YUM! So I eat 1 ham salad for example over 3 days at work.

That's great! I'm trying hard to stay away from processed stuff, but as my husband says...healthy food is so inconvenient! I've started stopping by Wendys for a slald and then eating most of it over several meals. I'm so pleased to be able to eat lettuce and raw spinach!
