I canned ground beef for the first time last year. I was hesitant, because I didn't think we would like the texture. Now I can't imagine my pantry without some in it. Such a time saver. I do some plain and some with seasoning. Thanks to all the ladies for sharing.
I canned ground beef for the first time last year after watching Leisa. I was afraid I would not like the texture, but I followed her tip of par cooking the meat first and it was perfect. You are going to be so happy to have this on your shelf. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for being a part of the Canuary Collab, it is very interesting watching all the canning recipes and the different ways people can the same things.
I learn something new from each of contributors of Canuary and look forward to each new post!yay for you! Just imagine what else you’re gonna be canning! I could sooo relate when you were sitting looking at the gauge during the canning cycle, that was me, and I also got the weighted gauge. Your vintage canner is adorable, and still rocking along.
I did the exact same thing for my canner. I despised watching the guage all the time and being tied to the canner. Love being able to go by sound! Meat is my favorite thing to can although I've never done ground beef yet. Just did 16 pints of raw pack roast beef last night!
You'll enjoy canning ground meat. You have 3 options. (1) Loose ground meat, as in this video. (2) Meatballs that you can use for spaghetti and other noodle dishes. (3) Patties. When I do those, I can those in wide mouth pint jars. (Four per pint, enough for 2 people.) To make the patties I use a wide mouth jar ring. Place the ring on flat surface, top side up. Put ground meat into the ring, loosely packing it. When the ring is full, lift off the ring. Then, brown the patty that fits almost perfectly into a wide mouth jar. Actual fit depends on how much fat removed / how much shrinkage during the lightly browning step. At any rate, using the rings is the best way I've found to shape them. Enjoy adding ground meat to your pantry shelves. Hope you spot some good sale prices soon.
I canned ground beef for the first time a week ago. My husband just loves it. He can make a quick meal for lunch real easy. Dinner is a breeze with ground beef now. Thank you for sharing this.
i canned ground meat for the first time this year . Oh did I learn a lot. Failed lids, reprocessed that takes along time after emptying cleaning reheating it worked. And yes within 24 hrs . Tada canned groceries! Happy canning that ground beef!!!!!
I'm new at canning (couple of years) but I've canned meat almost since the beginning and it's a life changer and life saver. I come back from work and bam, dinner is on the table in a nick of time. Love it
I love the color of your old canner! Had to be from the 70s when everything was gold or olive green. Thanks for all the clarity around the gauge, jiggler and vent
A weighted gauge IS a game changer. I also found out my pressure gauge in top of my canner was off about two degrees when I took it to my ag dept. to have it tested. They recommended I replace it. I just bought a jiggler. Now I don't have to worry about watching the gauge on top. I love it.
I am so glad that you decided to take the plunge and can meat. I am glad that Leisa helped by recommending the weighted jiggler to use with your canner. Loved your sense of humor in the video. Thank you. Loving CANUARY!
First of all let me say, I Love, Love, LOVE your canner! The fact that you're still using one of that age is a testament to their durability! And that COLOR! Man would I love to have something besides stainless. Secondly, I just got a weighted gauge for my Presto also and LOVE it. Such a game-changer! I used to look JUST like you when I used the dial gauge. LOL Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on your first meat canning session! Happy Canning! ~ Stephanie
Same here, until I got the Presto Adjustable Regulator. Love that thing. Now, as long as I'm within sight and sound of the canner, I can do other things while waiting for processing to finish.
I don’t have as many years canning experience as you but I too have never canned meat before. But this Canuary series has really inspired me. I love the fact that you pre-seasoned the meat. That means it’s ready to go as soon as you open the jar!
Love having this on hand for quick meals. Had a new whole beef on the way so I canned all that was left from the last one. Mine recommended 3 quarts of water in mine all the time.
I was teaching a friend how to can green beans and she broke my pokie joe. Now I use a plastic knife. It works great and does not scratch my jars. Love the video!
My 1st canning project was mincemeat which was a third meat. And that was 35+years ago. It was delicious; I have a long waiting list of persons wanting me to make more. So welcome to meat canning -- you'll never go back. Each time you start to make a dish, a part of your brain will start computing how to can it. Great video! Thanks
I can not wait to try this. My husband has my freezer full of ground elk meat and was thinking this would work for that also. Yall have all been so great. I think your going to be so happy to have all this meat on your self in the pantry. I love the fact that you shared a first time with us. I want to thank you and all of you for the opportunity to have been able to watch Canuary, it has been so much fun. . :)
I love the reactions I get when people learn I can meat! I haven't used a lot of spices when canning burger but now I think I will, after watching what you added. I used to sit and stare at the gauge until I learned I could do the jiggler also! Thanks!
I have only used my waterbath canner. This series, with all these wonderful people, have given me a push to attempt pressure canning. So many great recipes, tips and information. Thank you sooooo much for doing this.
I hear ya, that was me as well before I got my weighted fobby thingy. Jiggler. Talking about back breaking up down up down to adjust the flame. Now the jiggler, a soft hula dance and as long as I can hear it, I am good. I still never leave it for an extended time. Great job Patty
This week was the first time I canned ground beef. It met with hubby's approval so it is game on. I chose a jiggler based canner because I didn't want to be married to the stove for the entire canning session. What a game changer! You'll love it.
I haven’t canned meats in 20 years, but started up again. Thanks for calling Presto to verify about replacing the weight with the jiggler. DH got one for my canner but I haven’t used it yet. My stove with my canner has me right next to the stove forever with the old weight.
Your ground beef looks great. So many of us have learned a lot from Canuary and has given us an opportunity to meet other canners. I am really enjoying this month. Now I need to rework my pantry to hold all my filled canning jars.
I also learn something from everyone of the contributors for Canuary. Now I will start canning some meats including ground beef. Thanx for the lessons.
Love your pressure cooker! We inherited one just like it from my mother-in-law. And my wife was taught to watch the gage. I have been telling her about the gigler method. Thank you!
I love your canner! My Aunt had one just like that when I was younger. Brought back some good memories of my Aunt, Grandmother and Mom canning together.
You did are at job explaining your canning process. I canned ground beef this year after watching Leisa. I’m so happy I did it because it freed up my freezer and it was so easy to do. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I'm excited for you. I just canned hamburger not quite 2 weeks ago. I had to borrow my brothers canner. My turned out great too! Congratulations! Makes you feel good too!
This is one thing I go through a lot of in my pantry. For anyone who has not canned ground beef they really should. I pull it out and it makes such a quick meal.
What a FUN video - thank you for adding so much personality in your video - these days we all need to smile more often! Welcome to the joy of canning meat - you'll love it! Be sure to brown it up in the skillet when you use it even though it is already cooked. Browning it will revive the texture.
Oh my gosh, you are so fun to watch!!! I just started canning fall of 2021 and I was the gage watcher!!! I just received my giggler weight last Friday and I getting ready to start canning again. It's just my husband and myself also, so I'll have to cut canuary recipes down just to make sure we'll like them. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tips. I especially like the tub you used while filling your jars- that will save time on clean up and carrying jars to the canner in case it's not right next to the stove.
Cannot express the amount of love we have for this canuary series and all of you who have shared your videos and recipes. Wonderful and helpful to us all.

I just canned ground beef for the first time last week. It was so easy and I'm happy to have it on our shelf.
I absolutely love your yellow canner!
I love the expressive animals in the video! 😆 Ground beef on hand in the pantry is the best quick meal prep ever!
I totally agree!

The weighted jiggler is absolutely a game changer!!!
Thanks for joining Canuary, Patti! I am a newbie just learning from you all and it's been great!!!

It’s so cool that you have canned for many years and you are still learning new things
I canned beef for the first time recently and was very happy with the way it turned out. Thank you to everyone that has shown recipe for canuary
Seasoning the meat makes sense. That way all you need to do pop the top warm it up and enjoy.
I am so glad that you decided to take the plunge and can meat. I am glad that Leisa helped by recommending the weighted jiggler to use with your canner. Loved your sense of humor in the video. Thank you. Loving CANUARY!

This is great 👍 I love it; the old saying is you're never too old to learn. Thanks for participating in Canuary 2022.
I've been learning so much from these Canuary videos and this one is full of things I didn't know. Thanks!

I enjoy watching the basic recipes just as much as the more complex recipes. I canned ground beef for the first time this year, it’s been a big hit.
What a great thing to have shelf stable meat in the pantry.
I also am one of the canners that canned for years, but never had done meat. Just started this year. Love it
I love having canned ground beef on hand! It's so convenient.
I have most definitely learned something new from all of the participants! I truly have enjoyed Canurary!!
Love having ground beef on hand and ready to go. Thanks for sharing this!
You will love having this in the pantry! I learned to can meats last year during canuary. Thank you ladies all!
You made canning beef look so easy! Thank you so much! Love your canner 😊
I canned this in November. You gave me some new ideas on this. Thank you. Love this Canuary 2022, all the new recipes to me.
Your jars look so yummy! I just love the bubbling jars when they are taken from the canner.
Nice job describing how to process.
I have only used my waterbath canner. This series, with all these wonderful people, have given me a push to attempt pressure canning. So many great recipes, tips and information. Thank you sooooo much for doing this.
I love canuary! Turning my waiting room into a classroom over here. I've NEVER seen canned ground beef. So awesome!
I canned ground beef for the first time last year and it is by far my family's favorite ground beef to eat. Glad to see everyone learning new skills.
I hear ya, that was me as well before I got my weighted fobby thingy. Jiggler. Talking about back breaking up down up down to adjust the flame. Now the jiggler, a soft hula dance and as long as I can hear it, I am good. I still never leave it for an extended time. Great job Patty
This week was the first time I canned ground beef. It met with hubby's approval so it is game on. I chose a jiggler based canner because I didn't want to be married to the stove for the entire canning session. What a game changer! You'll love it.
I canned ground beef 2 years ago. I believe cooking the meat first would make it taste better. Thanks for helping me in explaining a better way.
I haven’t canned meats in 20 years, but started up again. Thanks for calling Presto to verify about replacing the weight with the jiggler. DH got one for my canner but I haven’t used it yet. My stove with my canner has me right next to the stove forever with the old weight.
I just love all the great ideas for canning up scrumptious foods for our pantries.
I always learn something new from watching all the canning videos
Love canning ground beef! It's so versatile.
One of my favorite proteins to have on the shelf.
Getting more ground beef this weekend. Having it ready to go has been a life saver on busy school nights for making quick dinners!

I like finding out what spices everyone uses, I love finding new tastes!
Thank you for the inspiration to finally put up some ground beef on my shelf! I have been on the fence for awhile about doing it.
One of the best things to have on your shelf.
Thanks for this tutorial. Love your sense of humor, too! That ground beef turned out so pretty.
I am so with you on the value of kettles to us canners!

Lol! Loved the before jiggler. I grew up watching my Mom, Grandma and Aunts doing that.
Ground beef is such a good thing to have in your pantry, so versatile.
Great way to make sure you have shelf stable beef in the event of a power outage.
Absolutely!
One of my favorites to have on my shelf, so versatile.
You all are such wonderful confidence builders!

Everyone needs canned ground beef on their pantry shelf. Great job, thank you for sharing.
