240 LBS OF MEAT
MAY 27, 2013
Well, several things prompted this large purchase of meat!
First, we have used up all the meat that we canned a couple of years ago. Good thing!
Second, it will serve us well to have canned meat for our 2 weeks in Nauvoo.
Third, we learned from a friend that we can purchase bulk eye of round at Sam's Club and grind it ourselves for a savings of over $1 per pound for hamburger! And it is at least 90% lean!! That is a deal!
So, off Vernon and I went to the store and came home with 240 pounds of meat -- mostly beef but also boneless chicken!

Dad was the master of grinding!
Large "Eye of Round" at Sam's Club was $2.32 by the case.
We bought 2 cases!
Louie wasn't sure what was going on, but
he liked a little treat now and then!
Our double stacked canner is nicknamed "the rocket!"
When it gets a going you wonder if it is going to take off!!
We took the ground beef and cooked it up with dehydrated onion and whole wheat kernals. Then packed it in jars and processed it for 90 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure. When it was done, the wheat kernals are cooked and blend right in with the hamburger and you can hardly find them!
There is one slab of fat on one side that we cut off and the rest of the
meat was incredibly lean!
Task was completed with 240 pounds of cooked, frozen and/or canned meat by Thursday -- just 4 days later! That is team work!!!
