Canning: Ground Beef and Cubed Beef

Live Canning with TheSheChef plus a cameo by Afroprepper.

Please observe caution and sanitation. Always always always read the directions in your ball canning book and don't forget to check your canning guide for the appropriate pressure for the altitude at which you live.

Be cautious - but don't be scared!

I know a LOT of you already know how to do this but some of you don't - this is just a little guide for people who are just starting like ME!

utensils:
pressure canner
jar lifter
magnetic lifter
kitchen towels
canning jars/lids/caps

ingredients
ground beef -- pre cooked
beef - cubed to 1/2 inch
salt
pepper or red chili flake
beef broth
wet kitchen towels for wiping lip

pints 75 minutes
quarts 90 minutes

start time after you hit the proper amount of pressure for your altitude.

Happy Canning!

Nice work! I usually wash my jars and lids after they cool to get any residual grease off. This keeps that rancid smell from permeating your pantry. Dry the jars and rings completely, then re install the rings.

What's the oldest jar of meat that you have tried? I have two year old chicken breast and pork loin that tastes as fresh as,,,,,well, fresh.

[TheSheChef]

@Beauacadian Yeah I wash them after as well so we don't get "meat funk" lol. The oldest we have eaten is like 10 months - I only started last March. I'm so glad that you let me know 2 years in it still tastes great. We can no longer eat meats in a can it tastes too "tinny!"

I just bought my caner and will be canning for the first time this year.

[TheSheChef]

@SewMyWorld WooHoo! Congratulations! I just love canning!

LOVE your video! I want to share something that helps me do raw pack.

I find it easier to pack the meat down as I go. So I'll put about 1/4 a jar and pack, then 1/2 a jar and pack, etc. I have had a few jars break and I started to stop at just above the shoulder of the jar. I've not had one break since then.

Keep doing the awesome videos!

@Godlyhomeschool Thank you for the tip - sometimes packing the jars feels like armwrestling! HA - Have a great week.

Canned meat will keep for a long time 5 years! keep in coolest part of house and dark if at all possable. I never can meat from the store just fresh meat from farm. So, the store bought may not keep as long not sure. as the meat you buy from the store has many added items. 20% by weight normally.

I'm doing this today, but I'm boiling my ground beef because I have 10 lbs to do. I found 93% lean for $2.15/lb today!

[SewMyWorld]

@TheSheChef LOL well lets see how it goes hopefully i wont burn the house down.
