"Many people who have tried canned ground beef find the texture and smell comparable to dog food. In fact, some people actually choose to feed it to their dogs instead of eating it themselves. 'If I was starving I would devour it,' wrote one self-confessed prepper on Reddit. 'But I'm not starving, so to the dogs it goes.'"
"Others say that if you're going to eat canned ground beef, it's best to combine it with other ingredients (like, say, a strong-tasting sauce) so you don't notice the flavor or texture as much. Plenty just can't get past the mushy texture, though."
Canned foods offer convenient pantry staples that professional chefs regularly use, including items like canned tomatoes, beans, and coconut milk. However, not all canned products are equally desirable. Canned ground beef specifically receives overwhelmingly negative reviews from consumers who compare its texture and smell to dog food. Many people report the mushy texture is unpalatable, and some actually feed canned ground beef to their pets rather than consume it themselves. While combining canned ground beef with strong-tasting sauces can mask its undesirable qualities, the general recommendation is to purchase fresh ground beef when possible, with frozen ground beef serving as a more acceptable convenience alternative.
