Canning Ground Beef Using All American Pressure Canner

[@wandaarganbright4056]

Watching you put the lid on your canner is exactly why I will never have a microwave above my stove.!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Yeah, definitely not a good canning set up. Hopefully we will be making some changes in the next year or so.

I just started canning ground beef, but I add beef broth to my ground beef to give it a better taste and it tastes wonderful. I have also canned deer burger and it is great to!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Hmmm.... Maybe I'll try adding beef broth next time. We made a bunch of it with our beef bones. Thanks.

[@barbaraloehman2056]

Lol! I can totally relate. In order for me to wrap my mind around processing our first steer , Charlie, I had to say he was our meat garden and I dis connected for a month or two. We fed him out for a few months on grain and I've never tasted anything like it! Hope to never go back to grocery store beef again!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

It's amazing how much better the meat is. We've all gotten used to it and we ran out of ground beef last year and had to buy some from the store.....yuck. We're officially spoiled.

I'm eager to see the einkhorn videos!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

So far we've loved both recipes. I want to try one more type of cookie so I'll have 3 recipes I'm pleased with. We've also switched over to Einkhorn pasta and the grandkids all love it. (From Jovial foods... Through Azure Standard)

I just made your “manwich” recipe. It’s WONDERFUL!!!…thank you so much for sharing!!!…😊

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Glad you enjoyed it. 😁

Greetings. Binge watching your videos!! (It would be helpful to have each season in a playlist so I can watch in order😊). I'm a city gal and learned how to can from Guildbrook Farms!!!!! She's an amazing teacher.!!!! Really enjoying your videos!!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Hello. I learned how to can from her too. She also has a great tutorial on raising baby chicks. I often send people to her videos on canning. We'll think about coming up with some new playlists. Thanks for watching!

I am also waiting to hear how the ground beef tasted after canning it...I have frozen beef I would really like know how the texture and taste.I really enjoy your videos.

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Well, we had Sloppy Joes for dinner and I'm pleased with the texture. I have to say that right when I poured it out of the jar, it smelled and looked a little bit like cat food. (total transparency. 😁)We tasted it before we put the sauce in and it did lose a little bit of the beef flavor. (probably because I canned it with water....I'd rather save my homemade beef broth for other projects) The texture was very tender and as we ate our sandwiches we decided we wouldn't be able to tell any difference between canned and fresh. Overall I'm pleased and will probably can ground beef again. It's perfect for bbq, spaghetti sauce with meat, tacos.......

[@beadwright]

Have you tasted one of your ground beef jars yet? How does it compare to freshly made ground beef?

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

We haven't yet, but we're going to try it tomorrow night in sloppy joes. I'll let you know how it is.

Good to know. I will give it a try too.

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

My altitude is 12 pounds of pressure for 4000 feet above sea level for the pressure canner, varies by altitude

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

We're around 500 ft above sea level. Yes, it varies depending on altitude.... I might not have mentioned that. Thanks for watching.

[@joannathesinger770]

Your husband said something about the texture of canned ground beef and that yours was good...BUT...he was eating traditionally cooked beef, not beef that has been canned. I'm curious, too, as to how it turned out. I've been putting off canning some ground venison and ground beef for that very reason. If I won't eat it because of texture issues, it's a waste of good ground beef...so I, too, am anxiously awaiting the report on what the actual pressure-canned beef tastes like!!!

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

I'll let you know later today. We're having some for dinner today.

@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 Cool! Thanks for getting back to me! You hear so many conflicting reports, you never know quite what to believe! I will try it and give it a "go" myself! I do wonder if making it with beef bouillon would make a difference...

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

@@joannathesinger770you could try a few with water and a few with broth? If you do, let me know if it makes any difference.

A lot of grease is a good thing:)

I definitely like some fat in my beef. 😊

[@bonnietuttle8674]

can you can hamburger with onions and green pepper.

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

I'm not sure about that. I don't see a recipe in the Ball canning books. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer.

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

And, if electricity fails for 3 days or more... you don't have to worry about frozen ground beef spoiling.

[@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764]

Yes!! It is a good feeling to have more canned food, which doesn't depend on power.
