Review: Surprisingly delicious - I'm hesitant to review this; I don't want to give away the great secret: this stuff is fantastic. When I opened the can, there is that bit of canned meat smell that all canned beef products have. To freshen the flavor and texture, I heated it really hot in a frying pan. Once hot there was no unsavory odor and the taste was good. I added a bit of salt and crushed garlic and then it was fantastic. Throw in a can of canned spaghetti sauce and it was every bit as good as it would have been with fresh hamburger. You can't make a hamburger patty out of it but it would be great in any recipe that requires ground beef crumbled. Besides the spaghetti sauce, we're planning tacos, burritos, quesadillas (and many other Mexican style recipes), chili, sloppy joes, and more. There is a pretty fair amount of fat in this product - but then so would there be in any 73/27 or 70/30 hamburger from the grocery store. And if you're in a survival situation after any natural disaster that might require you to eat your food storage, the extra fat will be a necessity. It's energy food and brain food (just watched Brain Changes on public TV - an interesting show about how important fat is for the brain and how multi-grain or whole-grain bread is worse than even white bread). In any case, fat is an important nutrient. I simply drained this on a couple paper towels after heating it and the fat was not noticeable at all in my spaghetti sauce. This is not just food storage quality ground beef; this is eating quality ground beef. But don't believe me; that will save more for me to order. November 2 2014 update - I just received another order for 24 cans. This is something that, in all likelihood, arrives at desertcart in 12 or 24 can cases. I ordered 24 cans, thinking they would simply ship 1 or 2 cases, depending on the original packaging but, instead, I get four different date codes and 24 cans thrown loosely with no additional packaging materials. The cans roll around loosely and, even though it was heavily taped, the box was ripped up. Two cans were dented so badly that I'll have to use them right away - which is not terrible since we use it regularly anyway. I think I'm lucky; it seems many others get even worse bent can damage than I got. There's just no excuse for the poor packaging. I'll be leaving a packaging review as well but it is an important consideration in buying this product. I've seen desertcart pull items from their catalog because they don't ship well but the problem is not that these don't ship well, it's just that they're not packaged well. How can you hope to deliver by quadcopter drone when you can't design a packaging system for a #2 can? Review: Great to keep on hand - I had never tried Keystone meats before, but several people in a group I belong to had recommended them. We seem to have a hard time getting decent hamburger where we live, and it either cooks up rubbery, or dies way too quickly. If you freeze it and thaw it out, it just makes it worse. So I was looking for a better way to keep ground beef on hand. We tried this tonight for the first time. I had read reviews and expected all kinds of nasty. But the truth is, there was nothing wrong with it. These are packaged with only beef and sea salt. No extra water, no extra spices, just ground beef, cooked in the can at the processing plant. So when people say it is bland, it is - they leave it up to YOU as to how you want it seasoned. Yes, there is fat in the can. It is beef, cooked in the can. It will have naturally occuring fat. No fat is added. What we did was put the entire contents of the can in a glass dish (easier to clean greasy stuff off glass) and microwaved it o power level 7 until it was reheated. It was a little more soupy than I wanted, so - hold on - we drained it in a metal colander. Easy peasy. We were making tacos, so tried the meat as is first. Yes, it is plain. I added some cumin, and boom - taco meat. (I could have added a little chili powder too, but couldn't find it.) We had delicious, filling tacos. The can has a lot of meat in it. One can made 8 tacos for us. I will DEFINITELY be buying this again. I look forward to trying all the Keystone products. ## Features - KEYSTONE GROUND BEEF:- Keystone Ground Beef is a versatile meat product made by grinding beef that has Keto Friendly, No Carbs, Zero Carbohydrates, Its a natural premium canned ground beef meat that has no gluten Ideal for chefs (home and restaurant), campers, boaters, survivalists, etc. - INGREDIENTS:- Beef & Sea Salt - RECIPES:- Ground beef is a key ingredient in many classic recipes, such as spaghetti Bolognese, beef tacos, sloppy joes, and more.

I ordered the chicken when I read one review that mentioned the shelf life was five years-Thanks** A: I ordered mine in Jan 2020. The best by date is 12/2024. So at least 5 years. **Q: how many cans in a case, if you order 12 from amazon they are loose in a box, means dented by the time you get them?** A: I purchased 10 cans, they came in a box that would have held 40 ! Half of them dented... seller would not respond. **Q: Does it taste good** A: Yes it tastes good. We keep it in our emergency stash and we also have used it just like you would fresh ground beef.We have used it in sloppy joes and just a heat and eat along with rice.Even my grand kids could not tell the difference. It is good in chili and even in goulash. **Q: Can you make a burger with it?** A: I use it for sloppy joes taco and beef and bean stew as well as hamburger helper mix. You may be able to mix a thick cheese with rice to make a paddy or mashed potatoes and egg or cheese but all of these and the others offered will leave a bready starchy burger. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly delicious *by D***E on August 10, 2014* I'm hesitant to review this; I don't want to give away the great secret: this stuff is fantastic.

This works if no other option is available at the time. Mix it in with veggies for a soup or with gravy to serve over baked potatoes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Keystone All Natural Ground Beef 14 Ounce Long Term Emergency Survival Food Canned Meat | Fully Cooked Ready to Eat | Gluten Free Family Pack of 1 - Keystone Meats All Natural Heat and Serve Canned Pork 14.5 Oz Fully Cooked Shelf Stable Canned Meat Emergency Survival Canned Food Ready to Eat No Preservatives Gluten Free Made in USA Pack of 1 - Keystone All Natural Canned Chicken 14.5 Oz Fully Cooked | No Water Added | Ready to Meat | Quick Meals Emergency Survival Food Canned Meat Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1352943-all-natural-ground-beef-14-ounce-long-term-emergency-survival](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1352943-all-natural-ground-beef-14-ounce-long-term-emergency-survival) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
