Len and Zack's Chili and Canning Attempt (Part 2 of 2)

[SecondActSoon]

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering about the large size of the meat chunks in the original - how did they divide them up into the jars if they didn't break down.

Just wondering - I thought the processing would thicken up the chili. You added tomato paste, masa and cornstarch. Did the chili wind up too thick in the end? They say not to use breadcrumbs for their meatloaf as it doesn't can well. Did you have any issues with the masa or the cornstarch affecting the jars later?

SecondActSoon - Nah, the chili was the perfect thickness. We have been eating the jarred chili over the last couple months and have experienced no problems with have used the masa or cornstarch. In the past when our chili or stews were too thick I would just add broth or stewed tomatoes (I prefer to add the stewed tomatoes because of the acid).
