Our local country mart periodically has beef roasts for 2.99-3.50. So I buy it on sale, and get 15 lbs. Most of it I cut into inch squares and pressure can it. Some goes in the freezer and one in the oven or crock pot.
The jars of meat makes a good quick meal in the summer without heating up the house. Since the Dr. put me on low carb, I eat more meat too.
I don’t have a pressure canner .... thought about getting one a few years ago, but never quite got around to it. I bought 8 roasts, about 28 lbs of meat - it’s all in the freezer. I’ve got some pork loin & a batch of chicken livers to eat up before I pull out a roast (probably the end of next week). BTW, I bought a half a loin, around 5 lbs, for $1.89/lb which seemed a good buy to me & it’s been really good eating.
Yesterday, I bought a Kindle version of a carnivore cookbook by Maria & Craig Emmerich, which had a few ideas I hadn’t thought of, so I’ve enjoyed going through that today. One idea that intrigued me was using ‘smoked salt’ for flavor ... this sounds like a Christmas present idea - I can jellies & salsa for gifts & I think a jar of smoked salt would be something different to add as a gift item.
