About 6 months ago canned hamburger, fully cooked, started showing up on the giveaway table. I was a little skeptical when I grabbed the first couple cans that showed up there. I couldn't conceive I've already cooked hamburger, I mean it's a great idea, I just couldn't fathom it. But I took the three cans that showed up they're about a pound a piece and one day I think I even wrote about it I used the the can with a can of sloppy Joe mix and actually didn't turn out quite bad it wasn't like real hamburger or hamburger that I cooked down from raw meat but still in the middle of a blowing snow storm that I couldn't get out to the market or anything this would get me through. Every month now couple can't show up on the table and I've grabbed as many as I can probably use in a year. I must have six cans now and I've been trying to figure out how to use them effectively. I finally decided I think the hamburger would go great with tortillas. I even bought a couple of packages of different size tortillas in an effort to utilize this can protein. Of course I haven't used any of it until today.
I know over the years that I've lived here I've accumulated a number of cans of refried beans or Frijoles. I figured what better use of the hamburger than to mix it with the Frijoles and then wrap the mixture in one of the large tortillas. I toyed with the idea for two or three weeks and then tonight I figured what the heck this is a good night since I've already had the can of hamburger opened up in cooking the fat down to just the meat I would play with my idea of mixing the two and then rolling them up and said tortillas. And of course I don't know how or why but all my cans of refried beans have disappeared and I can't explain that for the life of me. I know I saw cans of beans got my refried beans, in the shelving last week. I even had a can out on the table that I was going to try to do this project last week but never got around to it and now I can't find any of them. Now that I have the hamburger Cooked our warmed up heated up or whatever you want to refer to it as cuz it's already cooked. I just and beside myself I can't find it anywhere and I think that's part of the universal Trickster that's out there who likes to play games on me anyway either that or the moving vortex has moved on my cupboard/ pantry and either removed or effectively hidden all my cans of refried beans. So they went my idea of beans and hamburger mixed up. As luck would have it however when I opened up my cheese drawer in my refrigerator I had a small package of shredded cheese, already opened and ready to go. So I made two cheese and hamburger burritos and they weren't half bad. I wish that I had my new can of pickled peppers opened but I did not and I didn't have the energy to open it up tonight but the cheese was good enough. I actually seen my CNA my home health person just heat up a tortilla with cheese inside and made a little cheese tortilla sandwich I'm sure it's got a technical Hispanic name but I don't know what it is. I'm hoping now that I've eaten my dinner wash the dishes kind of and put the residual hamburger and cheese away that when the cans of refried beans think I'm not looking and show themselves I'll turn on them and put them aside to try for another dinner refried beans hamburger from a can and shredded cheese does it get any better than this?

Seems someone is stripping your unit of all of your refried beans.
Would be fun to find out who it is!
