How To Pressure Can Ground Beef

[@shaunaanderson4844]

I just did this on Monday. I know the texture can be a bit different but it is still really good and great for quick meals. I now have over 60 jars ready for the year

[@lindamclendon1043]

Has your home pressure canned ground beef tasted very chemically when used in a meal?

[@liberty8424]

If you brown the meat & season before canning it greatly helps the flavor & texture!

[@majakldragon]

Why, oh why, have I never canned ground beef until now?????? This stuff is absolutely delicious.

[@ruthirwin5182]

Leisa, thank you for explaining in simple language. I always enjoy listening to you.. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Leisa- Ground beef was the first thing I canned by your instructions. So Thanx! I like to use mine for Sloppy Joes.

[@marshathompson205]

I’ve used the Beef “Better than Boullian” in my ground beef while frying it up. It’s a game changer for me!

[@lil0me100]

I did ground beef and chicken this past week. Love a good sell. Great for throwing together a quick dinner!

I love how this is the first video on feed after mentioning it earlier, thank you for sharing your gift with us!! We truly appreciate you, may God bless you in abundance 💖

I canned beef and venison together in venison broth. First time canning ground meat

[@texartisanstudios]

Tried this today! I only processed about 5 pounds to practice with and I have to say it was very fun for me! Thanks!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Great job!

[@pattyb9787]

Thank you for showing this. It is essential to can meats to. Meat is going to be expensive and hard to get, I think , in the near future.

[@SuttonsDaze]

I absolutely agree. Do it now, if you can, while it's less expensive

[@ohiofarmgirl3384]

Giving this a try today! Starting small with just 7 lbs of our home raised beef. Want to make sure I like it before the “go big or go home” phase😂

[@Farmerbettyboop2]

Your videos are always so thorough and informative. I get so many tips and questions answered that I don’t hear in other videos.

[@judyshema6191]

I love canning meat! I did mine in bouillon last year. This year, no salt, just water! Last year's was delicious, but I think I would prefer less sodium, as using it in recipes seems to make it too salty. Nice refresher video! I'm wishing Happy Spring to all!

[@marjoryvick1179]

Macaroni and cheese with hamburger. YUM!!!! My Granddaughter loves it.

[@Mcv2023]

[@lindaweber3083]

7 qts, 8 pts done today. Love having your videos to refer to and reviewed USDA guidelines. You are a treasure!

[@naynayspreppingkitchen7527]

Even tho this is an old video it's so helpful to me as a new canner. Thanks so much for the video.

[@kariblackwood5811]

You can use an eight tsp of cream of tartar instead of vinegar to your water to prevent the jar cloudiness and it won’t tarnish your rings! ❤

[@SuttonsDaze]

Yes

[@kathi7956]

I didn't know this and I have a bunch of tarnished rings. I wish I had learnt this sooner. I live in the countryside in Tuscany, Italy where we have really hard water. Since I have to import everything from the US, which makes it 2 and a half times as expensive, this will hopefully lengthen the life of my rings! Thank you soo much!

[@carolfloyd6550]

I keep approximately 10 pints in my pantry. If I get down to 5 I start looking for sales on hamburger. I dry canned some hamburger the first time. I now add water and the texture is so much better. Thank you for all you do.

[@glendavertner8906]

I started canning in 1975. I never can with salt in anything I'm canning. The Home Economist at my local County Extension Office or The Ball Canning Book said it is not necessary to use salt. It is only for flavor. There's not enough salt for Preservation of the product. If you choose to use salt in your canning DO NOT USE IODINENIZE SALT. Have a blessed evening, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🦅🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏😘

[@sherirucker4296]

This is such a good idea for creating freezer space! And will come in handy in case the power goes out!

Am canning my first batch of taco meat in my All American today. Your videos gave me confidence to try this! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@nmnativenurse6965]

Thank you for the video. I’ve canned a lot of veggies, but no meat as of yet. Going to try my hand at it very shortly, as we just lived through Texas Snowmageddon. This would’ve been VERY handy to have on the pantry shelves!

[@misfit7610]

Thanks for this, I have canned a lot of venison, chicken and beef cubes but this is the first time canning ground anything. Your video was extremely helpful and answered my questions. Pinball recommends you highly.

[@kennahermes6111]

So good & versatile! We will never be without canned ground beef in our pantry. I have learned & continue to learn so much for your videos!! Thank you!

[@qweeknee4208]

Looks great! I think I will do this in September since our summers are scorchers. This will give us meat for Fall, Winter and Spring.

[@patriciagraham4786]

Thank you for sharing all your prepping. I'm going to can ground beef tomorrow. Gotta clean out the freezer to make room for a pig 🐖. You video was perfect timing.

[@wolffe38]

I have to rinse it off in strainer before I use it because my husband likes it better that way. It does help with the "canned" flavor.

[@cherylsigler]

Totally agree. I can meat when ever possible. Loving that sound in the background. THANKS LEISA🥰 Oh and great * for stuff bell pepper soup or cabbage soup

[@sagawang5]

Thank you for giving very good explanations as to the Whys of why u r doing stuff. It’s info u just know & u answer all my questions as I need to know the science of it too

[@cherylrobinson1747]

Ground beef is awesome to have on the shelf. So is ground sausage. Our water is very hard, so I use cream of tartar is hasn't bothered my rings or lids.

[@bettyboop9077]

For tacos, Save the liquid to add later with the taco seasoning. Has great beef flavor.

[@T6706K]

I made the taco meat before canning it. Turned out great.

[@sarramiller976]

My rings look like yours. About once a year, I swirl some steel wool around the inside of the ring and they work just fine. Keep up the great work!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Thanks for the tip!

[@andreaszule1558]

I am doing it! Have trouble maintaining steady pressure! I sat and babysat this pot! Moving the heat higher and lower. I was to maintain it at 11. Never went below 10...I don't know what the problem is?! I have a old Frigidaire glasstop. I gotta say I was a nervous wreck. It is 2am and waiting for it to cool down. Well, we'll see!

I do mostly small batch canning since we don't have a large garden or a butcher nearby, but it works for us! Thanks so much for all the information you include in your video's! You helped me get started a couple of years ago and now I'm a happy canner! 🙂

[@karenf14]

You were reading my mind again. I have 30 pounds of ground beef in my freezer, some have been there since August. I wanted to can 25 pounds but couldn't decide which way. My last 24 pints are now going to be filled. Yeah

[@MegaCandylady1]

I have canned several jars of ground beef. I’m one that’s not crazy about the texture afterwards but I’ll make it work. It’s so convenient. Thanks for sharing.

[@nancybarrios7866]

I would use in spaghetti sauce or lasagna, things like that

[@jeffmiller8129]

Outstanding video, it helped for our first time canning ground beef....

[@nancymweasel6561]

I was taught to cool the liquid, skim most the fat off and the remaining juices/collagen were used instead of water. Like you said, the flavor is in the fat so I make sure there is some in there. I have never had a problem. Yay!

[@BarbraElliott-bz2lv]

Can you use broth and spices at this time

[@naomiverdugo2180]

Thank you so much for getting right to the point. Love your videos. Stay safe.

U r simply amazing. I feel like a pro canner following u. Thank u thank u!!💕🐾love u

[@catzmeeow]

Love the Golden Harvest jars and lids. I thought they were only available in Canada.

[@lmcburney]

I did it! I canned ground beef and pork for the first time. Now, I need to open one and use it to see if the texture will be okay for our family. No need to can if we don't want to eat it. I canned 4 pints of beef/pork and 4 pints of raw chicken legs. The chicken looks terrible but I think mostly because I didn't add any liquid with the legs. Again we need to try a jar and see if the texture is okay for our family. I am really hoping it is acceptable because I am looking for shelf stable way to keep meat incase of a power outage and we loose our freezer for an extended period of time. Thank you so much Leisa for sharing your canning knowledge with us!

[@lmcburney]

The canned ground beef/pork had a good texture. I used it in a homemade hamburger helper type skillet meal. It was good enough that I would make tacos with that meat and be fine. Next we will try the chicken. Honestly, it looks terrible with dark bones and greasy liquid. I think that I will debone it and use it over rice or noodles.

[@michellelaclair]

Becareful,it addictive

[@cbass2755]

Once you mix in dishes, it’s no biggie! Nobody knows I use my canned beef once I make my dishes. The chicken falls off the bones too, their wonderful….best of luck dear. I sure hope everyone will be pleased..🤗

[@kathleenkendalljacksgrandm6902]

Have 2015 chicken in pints. Will boil it for 10 minutes before using it. That will change the texture but can’t risk it. All the seals are in great shape, visually it’s like the day it was canned. Love canning ground beef, in a shtf, it will be welcome in tacos. Got MASA to make tortillas and hope it doesn’t come to that but it will be a treat.

[@mariannedwyer8402]

Thanks for explaining what happens with the fat. You really explain well!!

[@laurielyon1892]

I love having it canned. I didn’t can it with liquid because that’s not the way I saw earlier. Next time I will try it with water and see which way I like best. To make a quick meal I just get a jar of hamburger, jar of carrots, jar of potatoes and then I get a can of tomato soup. So quick! I don’t add salt either. Did one time when I canned chicken soup and it was too much! Thankfully a friend told me to add a few potatoes and then it wasn’t so salty tasting.

I have pressure canned ground beef before and it had a metallic tang to it after canned. I have only had this problem with ground meat. What am I doing wrong? I would so love to have jars of ground beef on my shelf. I can beef chunks, pork, turkey and chicken without any problems. Any suggestions?

[@catherinebenner6246]

I bought a canner with instructions that said do not add vinegar to water. I missed that in the instructions and it ruined the rocker weight. The wire corroded and I can't get the build up out off the inside. I had to order new weights. Skipping the vinegar hasn't changed the cloudiness either.

Are you canning in pints or quarts here?

[@maryweather8556]

This was perfect timing as I am planning to can ground beef for the first time this week! I've only had my canner for two weeks and I just used it to can carrots (my four year old daughter's favorite) a few days ago. I've been trying to decide what size jars to use, but based on your video it seems like a pint holds just shy of a pound of meat right? Also, I noticed your canner had a weighted regulator, but also a pressure gauge. My new Presto canner just has a weighted regulator, can a pressure gauge be added? Sorry I'm full of questions! I'm a newbie so I have a lot to learn, but I'm excited to do so!

[@peggykush6972]

I love the weighted regulator that I bought for my canner. It has two rings on it. No ring is 5 lb. One ring is for 10 lb. Two ring is for 15 lb. The smaller canner 16 quart has no dial gauge. Not a problem. I use the weighted regulator. I also use this regulator for my 23 quart canner. This is for Presto canners. Watch her video titled Using a Weighted Presto Regulator.

[@maryweather8556]

@@peggykush6972 yes, I understand that. Mine is the 16 quart with the weighted regulator, but in the video it looks like the canner she is using has both a weighted regulator and a pressure gauge.

I heard you say you were switching out the water in your canner between loads - was this because you weren't doing a hot pack or because of fat floating around in the canner?
