Three years ago I made some basic Italian beef with pureed tomatoes and red wine. I had leftovers and canned them for later.
Combine that with oven fries, smoked mozzarella and some seasonings and we have this monster meal. Not available in stores.
Cost: $4.00
Did you pressure can this?
How long do you keep it for before you start to get worried?
Definitely pressure can. As long as the lids are sealed the food is still edible. You will lose micro nutrients over the years but the macros will still be there.
Funky looking poutine!
I would go with "Italian gravy" for that. Pork neck bones cooked in tomato sauce for 6 hours. Maybe some 'baby' mozzarella balls. Tempting.
Wow those oven fries look gorgeous! What’s your fry making technique?
Slice, seasoning, oil, toss to coat. Preheat oven to 425 with a cast iron pan on the bottom rack, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place fries close but not touching. Bake for 35 minutes.

toss to coat?
If that works better for you.
Wow that’s very interesting. The cast iron pan acts like a heat battery?
Exactly. Brings the heat closer to the food without the risk of burning and allows for the occasional doneness check without letting so much heat out.
That is so cool! Anyway thanks for the technique! I want to try these soon!
Two decades ago I wanted fries but didn't want to waste oil. That's when I created my recipe.
Taco seasoning.
Chili powder.
Italian seasoning.
Montreal steak seasoning.
Salt.
Anything red.
I have made so many variations over the years. This time I went with some homemade taco seasoning, cumin, tajin and extra salt. I typically use peanut oil but use whatever you got with a high smoke point.
The cost from three years ago? Cheater! 🤪
Cost from today with beef prices from three years ago thanks to the power of canning. If I found beef for under $2 a pound I always found a way to can it for later.
H-how did you make your fries? Asking for me...
See my reply to chonglibloodsport
basic Italian beef
For those of us unaware of what Italian beef is?
Beef roast in a tomato, garlic and onion braise.
