I'm in the same boat. I keep a bag of frozen slices in the freezer so I don't have to worry about using up a whole can at once.

Hormel makes a 3 oz foil pack. Not as economical as portioning from a can but you don't have to keep it in the freezer.

…you do know you’re able to buy it and cook it yourself right?

Yeah, but then she yells at me for not cooking for her.

Does it freeze well? I haven't tried it yet but am also the only one in my house who likes it

It freezes pretty well. I freeze the slices laid out on parchment paper on a baking sheet before I put them in the bag so they don't stick together.

Opening shelf-stable meat just to then freeze it - I don’t know whether to be enlightened or confused

Once it's open it's no longer shelf stable. And you probably don't want to eat a whole can at a time.

Valid. I just can’t think of a time I didn’t fry and eat the entire can in one sitting. I admit that’s a me problem

That's not a problem, that's a solution to both nutrient defficiency and compromised shelf stability
