Beef ‘n’ Barley Stew
Thick and tangy, this tomato-based beef stew has long been one of our family favorites. We often use potatoes in place of the barley, and our favorite way to serve it is in a bread bowl. It’s perfect for dipping and delicious before trick-or-treating with these parmesan cheese rolls or bowls. –Mellyn

Cranberry Beef
This recipe is one of our Sunday favorites! The cranberry gives just a hint of sweet to the roast and makes a delicious gravy for mashed potatoes. I usually make it with a regular roast, but have adapted it here for use with canned beef. The original recipe can be found at http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-cranberry-roast/. –Mellyn

Beef Noodle Bowl
This beefy noodle bowl is quick to whip up in just a few minutes and tastes like it took a lot longer. If you’re not into canned beef, you could also make it with leftover roast or stew meat. It was deemed yummy by my panel of picky eaters! –Mellyn

French Dip
–From Cheryl O.
My friend’s mother, Cheryl, was a fantastic cook! This recipe is my food storage version of her original! To make her original, select a beef roast and marinate it in Italian dressing for 24-48 hours. Drain the roast and put it in a crockpot or deep baking dish. Combine 5-6 cups of water with 2 packages of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and pour it over the roast. Cook until the meat is tender. We prefer ours falling apart, but it tastes delicious sliced, too! We usually serve ours on buns. –Mellyn
Apricot Beef
After tasting the Apricot Chicken at the Olive Garden, I had to have an apricot sauce of my own. The whole family enjoyed this sweet beef experiment. The leftover sauce was great on stir fried veggies, too! –Mellyn

Shepherd’s Pie
A more predictable food storage meal, shepherd’s pie is still a hit at our house. Although I confess that in times of plenty we like a nice thick layer of cheese baked on top, it’s actually pretty decent minus the cheese, too.
