#HomeCanning #CanningMeat #MexicanFood
Beef brisket canned with onions, garlic and Mexican spices for quick and easy tacos or meal starter.
Ingredients needed for every 2 quarts:
2.5 lbs. beef brisket
2 c. sliced onions
2 t. salt
2 t. dried Mexican oregano
8 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro or 1 t. dried
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, finely chopped and 1 T. of sauce
Beef stock, I estimate 1 c. per quart
Fill hot jars with meat chunks and onions to 1" headspace. Top off with hot stock maintaining 1" headspace. Debubble, wipe rims, center lid and add rings to fingertip tight.
Pressure can pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes, adjusting for altitude as follows:
Weighted gauge Dial gauge

1,001-2,000 ft 15 11
2,001-4,000 ft 15 12
4,001-6,000 ft 15 13
6,001-8,000 ft 15 14
8,001-10,000 ft 15 15
This recipe CANNOT be safely water bath or steam canned.
Allow jars to cool undisturbed 12-24 hours, remove rings, check seals, wash jars and store in a cool dark place.

Looks delicious! A good way to have a quick dinner.😊

[@Mike-r2b]

The second vid Ive watched and saved both, AWESOME!

[@annamartinez7031]

You are so right about the Mexican oregano. The taste is nothing like regular oregano and is much better in Mexican dishes.

[@jimjohngirard]

I'm not much for Mexican food, but, I love Italian food. Do you have any "Meals in a Jar" that are Italian in origin? Things like Chicken Cacciatore, or Italian Wedding Soup? That would be useful for me, because then all you have to do is boil out some pasta. Appreciate some pointers....love your channel and have made several of your meals.....favorite.....-----Bourbon Chicken----- to die for.

[@firequeen2194]

I was just thinking I need chicken cacciatore! Even if I have to “finish” when preparing, I think it would be awesome to have the basic on the pantry shelf. I’ve been looking at recipes to see what’s safe to can. I did the same with roasted red pepper hummus. Garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers, garlic, etc. just added tag to add 1T oil and 1T tahini sauce when blending to finish. 😋

[@TastyFoodByNaz]

Really good! Wow, this food is amazing! ... Looks soYummy. ... Flavorful. ... Mouth-watering. ... God bless you... Keep it up.... Stay blessed. 👍 I am first

[@shawnamarcum3077]

I need to can meat and with your black beans and enchilada sauce will this be a nice addition to my shelf, yum!!!

[@wolchfam]

I agree. You need more meat than you think. I made this the other day and we’re having this for dinner tonight. Yum.

[@unleashnow226]

YUM! Another keeper. I would have to do quarts the way my hubby eats. I swear he has worms (j/k, just a very physical job for a 63 yr old!) Thank you, Carol. You always keep your canning area SO tidy! I try SO hard, but usually have some sort of small mess😁

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Good for hubby 😁. Thank you for the compliment... You only see what I want you to see 😉😉💕

[@JohnSmith-qg2bp]

Looks awesome Im missing beef on my shelf right now this'll be a great edition 😋

[@nobracobra]

aha yummo for my tummo... now we NEED a vid on making homemade flour tortillas for street tacos or fajitas js ;)

[@kendalldenney]

Check out Cooking con Claudia's channel. She has homemade corn and flour tortilla recipes that are divine.

[@vnlindsay]

Another great recipe!

[@momof6931]

Oh my goodness! This was so tasty! Tonight I mixed this with canned chipotle black beans and dairy-free cheese. I have yet to can enchilada sauce, but bought the dried chilies so that’ll be soon. I made rice with the juices from the beef for a side. Thank you! Edited , because I forgot to say I made enchiladas 😊

[@GinaOzarks]

Just in time for the holiday ! Looks great.

You had me when you started talking about par cooking & roasting meat/onions for better flavor & color! Paused the video to subscribe right then & there. Thanks for the content 😊

[@sherrycraft6557]

These recipes make a difference !!!!!! I use fresh if i have it!!! I hate dried in them if i do i place dried in water to soften...

Hello Carol👋🥰

That sounds fantastic Carol!! That is a pretty color top that you are wearing!!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Thank you 😊

[@iamstorie882]

When I first saw taco meat, I thought, " she hates canned ground beef". Then I saw you used brisket ( sooo delicious!) this is something I'll definitely try! Love your top, it's my favorite color, don'tcha know.

[@aknudsen30]

I have that book and never see the same things you are canning from it! 😂😂😂

[@kathleenelliot5305]

Allison page 274. Happy canning

[@JeannetteShoreland]

Me too! I can leaf through this canning book as well as the others Carol uses and I never find these gems until they are presented in one of Carol's videos.

[@cabinlife6590]

Good color on you making those blue eyes pop :)

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Thank you 😊

[@henrycooks1883]

Looks good Carol, have you ever tried cooking your tomatoes, onions on the grill before canning, I do this in the summer, have even added wood chips to add a different flavor. For anyone out there curious to the difference between Mexican oregano and Greek or Italian, Mexican is more floral, a big difference, a lot of the oregano actually sold is Mexican, you can tell easily by the smell, Carol you should grow it, it grows great and dries great. I do this with Greek and Mexican, I never have to buy it, and the way you use it, you would not have to worry about running out.

[@markfults1693]

Where do you get the seed from?

[@henrycooks1883]

@@markfults1693 I started with plants from local nursery, save seeds and replant, some plants come back on their own. I see seed packets for both Mexican and Greek from any of the major seed companies. Also dry great.

[@kathleenelliot5305]

Will be making this. Appreciate you.

[@ambremarie]

Thanks so much for your videos. I’d love to hear your review/taste test of the dish at the end.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It’s delicious. One of my favorites 😊

[@plhartley]

Thank you, this looks like a keeper. I just canned 6 pints of your Mississippi Pot Roast again this evening.

[@gregrossman7861]

Hello Pam, how are you?

[@Gggls844]

Could you sub. The brisket for ground beef?

[@conniethomas8156]

I have the same question.

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

You can substitute any meat, but hamburger has to be cooked first because it gives off too much fat, it needs drained off. Also some people don't like the texture after canning, I use it all the time for taco meat canned and love it.

[@chaparral88081]

Looks fabulous! So, when you open the jar, I assume that you shred the meat then. What do you do with the liquid in the jar?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

You’ll need some of the liquid to keep the meat moist while heating

[@chaparral88081]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I followed your instructions, and my tacos were great! It was so nice to have meat all prepared and ready to go. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and easy to follow instructions!

[@StayGold711]

I need to get more jars.

[@Schmitz3]

What would happen if you cut the meat into 1" square chunks instead of the 2" the recipe calls for?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It would be fine 😊

[@carriesvendsen8960]

Hello Carol, how much broth do you suggest to have on hand for this recipe and the 5 lbs of brisket? Looking to do this tomorrow. Looks amazing!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

About 4 cups

[@cassandraschepperle1429]

I keep hearing to never fill jars with more than 50% solids yet yours were quite full. Who do you believe?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

That’s for canning your own soup method. This is canning meat and I followed the guidelines so my method here is correct

[@sunshinemee4226]

Hope this isn’t a dumb question, but the recipe is for “shredded” so is that done when preparing for tacos or does it shred during the process? THANKS!! 😬

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Shred when you open a jar. The canning process will make the meat very tender

[@amybarker2385]

Would chicken thighs be an ok substitute?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes. If you use chicken also use chicken stock instead of beef

[@gregrossman7861]

Hello Amy👋

Why brisket? How does it taste? How is the texture? Wouldn't sirloin or other meat be better? Thank you!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I used brisket bc that’s what Ball recommended but you could use any cut of meat you prefer 😊

[@cherylfavreau3517]

Carol, Can we use pot roast or another roast if we don't have brisket in the freezer

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes absolutely

[@judyhansrl2650]

Is this spicy hot? My husband can’t take the heat. Looks so good!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It does have a bit of heat but not much. If you’re concerned reduce the amount of Chipotle peppers 😊

Keep in mind that Mexican oregano is REALL REALLY strong.

My volume is up and I don't hear anything

[@ItsJuandaWoo]

When canning meatballs or meatloaf is it ok to add breadcrumbs to the meat mixture?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

No you shouldn’t add it. Grains or grain products are not recommended for canning
