Good luck making a good beef stew! And - just my opinion - that tin of Dinty Moore really isnt all that bad, ha! Many a day we’ve resorted to Dinty Moore and — considering — it’s actually pretty good. IMHO. Tastes decently good , no shortage of meat or veggies, and Its never induced barfing. Better than can be said for a lot of expensive restaurant grub these days
I grew up on Dinty Moore - it wasn’t as good as Granny’s home-made stew, but my brother still likes it! And it’s pretty good stuff for a prepper’s stash ;-)
