I boil macaroni and drain. Add 1 jar of canned pork or venison (drained of the juice), 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. I then season it with Fajita seasoning or salt and pepper basically season with what I have on hand that sounds good. It makes a nice quick meal. I sometime experiment with adding a can of vegetable to make it more healthy.
I actually made this for my patient but j added chicken broth, mushrooms, pepper flakes ad salt. We shall see if he likes it or not!
May be stupid question but did you heat up the pork and the cream of mushroom to?
Re: Canned Pork Receipe
I made a chilli with this canned pork and it is so good.
First I saute it in a frying pan with cut up onions and garlic and brown it a bit before I add it to the crock pot.
Marry me. ????
It was great I used small penne pasta and peas and cheese..it turned out tasting like tuna casserole ..i would recommend with a baked potatoe ...potatoes 3 1/2 min in microwave ..thats all it takes..love it quick fast and cheap
Kansas - One of my favorite can pork or fresh pork. Soak beans over night then drain. Put beans & pork in crock pot cover with picante sauce.
I fryed a big onion, added bay leaf, thyme, black pepper. Then added chopped canned pork then let it slowly fry for a while. Sprinkled oregano and garlic. Stirred it up and waited a few minutes. Added a can of garbonzos and 32 ounces of Classico marinera sauce and added 16 oz of pasta water. (Oh yeah, I had a pack of spaghetti cooking on the other burner.
Let the sauce simmer 20 minutes then serve over the pasta.
Just made this, its amazing. The pork was not appealing at all, but it was all I had left and by bizarre luck I had all the ingredients. Added a whole onion, fresh garlic and my own seasoning. Recommend 10000%.
Thanks to everyone for the recipes for canned pork. We just traded some grocery items with friends and I took the canned pork, but wasn't sure what to do with it.
Thank you for the ideas. I never even knew that canned pork existed before this pandemic much less what to do with it to make it edible. These recipes and ideas are very appreciated.
Hi Jayhawk, I lived in Lawrence for 12 years. I now live in Washington State. I used to get the canned pork from Penn House. I would BBQ it. Just open the can, rinse off the fat then pour in BBQ sauce and heat.
mix with brown beans and serve with cornbread.
b-b-q.
serve like hot beef sandwich subbing pork for beef.
serve with mashed potatoes.
cook potatoes, carrots and onions and add pork.
add to stir fried veggies and serve over rice.
good luck and I envy you. its been years since I found any canned pork.
Go to amazon.Com they have another brand but same pork. 12 cans lunchroom size $168.00. Extra large suze.
Try area food bank
-I made this last week, I couldnt find any recipes I liked so I made one... I put 1 bag of small red beans (soaked overnight) and a can of pork and juices into the crock pot. I added water, 1 pouch of lipton beefy onion soup, season salt, minced onions, teaspoon of garlic, and salt. Let crock for 4 hours. Yummy type of pork and beans, the guys ate it all up!!!
Good idea except I first make the gravy, add the pork, then pour it OVER mashed potatoes or rice.
I love home fried potatoes and onions. I bet this caned pork would be good fried in with this.
Kinda like a Shepards pie but instead of Groud beef it's pork brilliant idea!
I love Amanda's phrase, "the guys ate it all up!". Reminds me of my Grandma talking. It would be something she would say! Sounds like you got a stock pile of canned pork! Ha ha. Love the question, "where I can buy a can of pork". One avoids buying canned pork! Canned pork is something you end up with or acquire from a food bank! Thanks Amanda, I'm gonna try your way.
This post was so funny and true. I have 3 cans of lakeside pork - from a food bank, not very attractive to look at, and I hate to just toss it. So all these recipes are great ideas. Thank you so much. Lol.
Times are rough,w
Sent to food bank ,I was blessed with some Lakeside canned pork,decided to look up recipes for it ,thanks.

Good luck!
Just got me some food bank canned pork in juices & appreciate these recipes cause I hadn't the slightest clue..
I saw people asking about canned pork and where to buy it and then someone says one avoids buying canned pork and you acquire it at a food bank. Guess what, they sell canned pork and canned chicken at walmart and also at Kroger. So it must not be all that bad, Gregory
and if a food bank is keeping you and your family fed because of illness and job loss you will be thankful for the canned pork and the recipes needed to cook it.
Your comments on canned pork are very belittling to those of us that need to use a food bank!,
I found this place online:
www.lehmans.com/
You might be able to find other ones on Amazon. Be careful though because I had to wade through canned dog food during my search. You don't want that!
Sure you can, it's already to pull!!! Drain the juices off first, heat it up in a crock pot or microwave etc. pull apart and add whatever seasonings sound good at the moment. Matter of fact........ think I know what's for supper tonight!
Why? Whats wrong with the comment? I use the food shelf and these comments are helpful. Whats your problem?
LOL. Wrong. I'm here trying to find out where I can buy pork in a can. I had supper with a friend, and she served delicious pork from a can. She served it with mashed potatoes, and gravy made from the juices from the can. It was so good! She told me ahe got thw pork from a food pantry. The can said Lakeside Foods, but the website juat says sold in stores under the store brand. I've had other canned pork, but I want this one!
Homemade BBQ pork pizza. I make my own crust use bbq sauce canned pork mozzerella and cheddar cheeses red onion and sometimes bacon crumbles if I have bacon. My hubby and kiddos eat it all up no leftovers for lunches or midnight snacks. Its quick easy and not wxpensive and ghe crowd goes hog wild
Some people are grateful for pork in a can. Might be the only meat they get.
You are so wrong. We can our own. As do we can our own chicken, chili, vegetables..I can go on and on. Becoming self-sufficient, and sustaining, is a very rewarding way of life.
I don't think it sounds or was intended to be belittling. Needing a food bank is something that happens in a person's life, not who you are. I teach people all the time how to cope with medical situations new to them. People ARE generally new to canned pork when they arrive at a food bank where it's distributed, and I don't recall seeing it on a grocery shelf since a military commissary in the 70s.
Yes I saw it at Kroger and it's not cheap just trying to figure out what to do with it is my issues as well, I also got some from a food pantry as well it's not something I would just buy unless I had a recipe I never noticed pork in a can before the food pantry, I have to feed picky grandkids lol
can buy on
amazon
My grandkids have learned to eat what meme fixes and a new thing canned pork thank you food bank

I just made some awesome Chile Verde using canned pork. Here's the super easy recipe:
1 can canned pork (ours was from commodities)
1 jar salsa verde, I used Safeway brand
white sauce, 1/2 & 1/2, or whipping cream to cut potency of salsa verde.
or heat up 3/4 jar of salsa verde and add 1/2 cup 1/2 & 1/2 or whipping cream to heated verde sauce. Stir to thicken.
Drain canned pork making sure to scrape off any excess fat. Gently pull pork apart into chunks and put into pan with verde sauce. Stir on medium low heat until heated through.
Serve with your favorite pinto beans and top with sour cream. Add tortillas and rice for a total fiesta. Enjoy!
Recipe for white sauce:
Make a roux with about 1-2 tbsp butter (or juices from pork) and 2 tbsp. flour. Wisk until smooth paste, add about 1 cup milk, stir until thickening. Add salsa verde and stir.
Hi i have used canned pork for several meals. You can make a quiche or spaghetti or pork with egg noodles or even chilli. Its the spices that makes the difference. I buy them at trader joes or costco. Its called 21 spices and its organic and no salt added. Awesome spices. You can even make the spices yourself. 1.95 At trader joes 7.99 At costco. Just make sure you rinse the pork in warm water and drain then add your spices. I have gotten great reviews on my meals. So give it a try.
I found this awesome recipe and my family went back for seconds and thirds! My mother had seconds and she HATES canned pork. Not anymore!
SOUTHWEST PORK & RICE
1 & 1/2 tsps chili powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp black pepper

***For added flavor, sprinkle with fresh minced cilantro. Also, add 1 cup frozen corn to rice mixture with tomatoes; proceed as directed.
This one looks delicious and I have all the stuff here so I am trying this tonight. :)
Ok, I went ahead home to open up my canned pork and took some of the advice I had found on this site and others. I drained the pork fat/juice off of it, placed it in a sauce pan on low, and broke apart the chunks of pork and removed any pieces of fat. Drained away most of the additional fat as it melted away with the heat.
I made something like "Shredded Pork" for tacos or nachos. I used canned pork for a large family so:
2 cans of pork
1/2 onion
1/2 green pepper
garlic pepper seasoning (mixture of garlic, salt, sugar, pepper) - season to your taste
I stirred it with a fork to shred it apart gently and allow it to simmer so that flavors blend together. It was delicious. We served it with some "rice and black beans"
1 tsp. olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
Saute those together in a sauce pan or small to medium stock pot for 3 minutes
3/4 cup of white rice - add to the pan and saute for 2 minutes
1 1/2 cup of chicken broth - mix into the rice and simmer for 20 minutes
add 1 can drained black beans, 1 can drained corn, 1 can diced tomatoes
add 1 tsp chili powder
add 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
stir and simmer for 5 minutes
Top your tacos as you normally would, lettuce, cheese, sour cream (what we used) or for nachos, layer the chips, add the shredded pork, then the black beans and rice, cheese and sour cream if desired.
This meal was great and the taste was surprizingly amazing. I prepared it and it did not taste anything like "canned or processed meat". If I acquire any additional canned pork, I will certainly make this again. Also, I will try something like chopped BBQ (like from hursey's BBQ)
Occasionally, we will have fried Spam. I slice it and batter each slice in flour and fry until brown and crisp on each side.
I make sandwich spread from canned pork, ranch dressing and pickle relish. Mash with a fork, and add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of ranch dressing and pickle relish. The amount of dressing and relish you add depends on the texture you prefer. I like the 1/3 cup results. Mix well, and serve as a sandwich filling, or on crackers as a snack.
Remove the pork from can as a whole piece, drain and remove fat. Place the whole piece over indirect coals on grill in an aluminum pan with small holes poked in the bottom. Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce. Allow the pork to get a little bark and smoke from the grill. Transfer into a small crock pot and add the jar of BBQ sauce, a little garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Once heated and mixed through Serve on Hamburger or Slider buns. The charcoal gives it a better taste and also adds that charred bark to the mix.
*Some hints:
~Keep lid on grill and close the air vents on bottom and leave 1/16" gap on lid vent.
~I have found that if the can is refrigerated before opening it will stay together longer. It also congeals the fat and fatty juices and they can be scraped off with a spoon or fork.
~You can also keep some of the congealed fatty juice on the pork "blob" In the pan and start the pan with meat over the coals, allowing the fatty liquid to drip through the holes into the coals causing more smoke.
~Be sure to move it away from coals so it doesn't burn once you get good smoke going.
The best recipe I created for canned pork is a delicious casserole. You will need one large Vidalia onion (sweet onion) Caramelized. 1 clove garlic toasted in frying pan. 1 and half bags of frozen green beans. 2 cans or 1 large can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup. Half pound of bella mushrooms sliced. 2 cans of can pork,or more. Depending on how meaty you want it. (REAL CAN PORK IN ROUND CAN.) mix all together and place in casserole pan. Salt pepper too taste. Then add 1 or 2 boxes of stove top stuffing depending on your liking. I use 2 boxes of stove top stuffing. Mix one stick of real butter with stuffing mix and lay on top of casserole . Bake at 350 degrees until stuffing looks crunchy . Very delicious....
I was excited to try this casserole since I make 2 at a time to help another family as well. The results were horrible! This is the worst recipe I have ever tried and I usually only have to make that statement when the recipe is written poorly. I tried rescuing it for the next day and a half until my adult son walked in and gave the time, I looked at home and he continued, time of death- and put it in the trash.
I had made an egg noodle recipe with this pork that was delicious and I am so upset that I didn't just stick with that.
I made fried pork patties out of the can pork. They were like making salmon patties. I added 2 eggs, self rising flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, Cajun seasoning. I fried them until golden brown. We dipped them in Sweet chili sauce.
I have a suggestion for using the canned pork. My fiance and I have three cans of pork from the food bank and were trying to figure out a way to use it. We went on this site looking for ideas, there were a lot of good suggestions, we came up with one using what we had on-hand. We cooked up a can of the pork along with some potatoes and onions. It's easy to make and doesn't take long at all. Chop up a couple of medium-sized potatoes and a couple of small onions into cubes, cook separately adding garlic salt and Montreal steak seasoning to your liking. Drain the juice and skim the fat off the pork, shred the pork somewhat, when the potatoes and onions are almost finished cooking, add the shredded pork and heat it through. It turned out good!
I use the pork in buffalo pork sandwiches. it is amazing!! just open pork pour off juices, add ranch dressing , buffalo sauce or lousianne sauce a little mayonaise. and horsey sauce if you like. mix and put on Hawaiian sweet rolls. yum
I used the canned pork to make pork fried rice. First, I made the rice. Then I sauteed onions, garlic, canned corn, canned peas and canned carrots. I moved the vegetable mixture to the other side of the pan, then I scrambled an egg in the pan. After the egg was done, I mixed the egg and the vegetable mixture together. I then added the rice. I then added soy sauce and fish sauce turning the pork fried rice often to ensure that it was all heated evenly. Serve and enjoy.
Where do I buy the canned pork
I used pork dry rub, 1 can whole kernel corn, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 24oz can fully cooked ground pork - drained on 1 pound of elbow macaroni AL Dente.
