Canned veggies. Drained or not

"...but she has always been difficult." I seriously laughed out loud reading this!! ROFL!!

I rinse... but rarely used canned veggies. Canned beans definitely get rinsed. Canned tomatoes go straight in with the juice, as do canned green chilies.

We pack loads of fresh veggies when we travel, up to a weeks worth is easy for two people in our Seneca (big fridge). We keep beverages in an ice chest to maintain lots of room for food in the real fridge.

We have Tony’s all the way up here in Michigan. I’ve got 2 cans in cupboard right now. Use it daily.

Glad to learn you have it there too.
We love our Tony's for sure.
My youngest one (age 2) will often hand me his plate and say "Needs Tony's.".

This thread is making me hungry! I have found from my son the miracle of the Grill Mat. I bought a couple from ebay and it makes a world of difference in my grill work.

I can cook seasoned vegetables like squash, peppers, asparagus and such easily and much less mess. Any kind of meat and even baking with the grill mat on the grill keeps them clean, and still get grill marks. Easy clean up, just flip it and use the other side. Wash in sink every 3rd time. Mine were larger than the grill so I cut them to size with scissors.

This morning I put a couple of links of country breakfast sausage on there for 6 minutes per side and yumm.. No mess!

DW drains the corn before she adds it to the white gravy for the mashed potatoes.

I'm not much for green vegetables, but DW and MIL eat quite a bit of fresh broccoli, asparagus and green beans.

We normally take fresh fruits and vegetables in the camper. The lake(s) where we do most of our camping are about 60 miles from home. There's a nice grocery store on the way where we usually stop.

If canned vegetables are packed in water, I drain. If seasoned, I add to the pot.

I always use low or no salted products. I prefer to add my own seasonings.

I only eat canned veggies in stews and sometimes soups, and then depending on what they are I drain or if not an abhorrent pea, (ever notice they're gray when they come out of the can?) and the liquid will add to the flavor or amount of fluid desired I'll use the cans liquid. I never even thought of taking canned veggies camping. Weird concept :-D
