Pressure Canning 10lbs Ground Beef | Taco Tuesdays

We have a friend, who works at a food bank. Where stores donate food, to help those in need. Sadly, they often end up having to toss out food that's expiring, or about to expire, because not enough people are taking advantage of the benefits available to them. Instead of tossing this 10# tube of ground beef in the trash, they dropped it off to us. We didn't have much time before it expired, and there's no way we can use 10# of ground beef in the course of a week. So we did one of our favorite quick easy meals, and turned it all into Taco Meat, and pressure canned it. Now we have a quick easy snack for the winter, when we don't feel like cooking. Pop open a can, toss in a pan and warming up, add some tortillas, cheese, salsa and you're no longer hungry!

Lol, looking for canning beef ideas and came across this gem. Four years ago! Awesome. You have been at this a while.

[TheJovanalloyd]

You should rotate your rag when wiping the rims of the canning jars. Watch your clip and basically it added to the next jar and was wiped on. It's a small detail sometimes overlooked. Love your channel and watch all videos !! Love ya

Do you add any liquid before canning or does it make any liquid after canning?

[MichellesCraftsandMore]

I have canned 32 pounds of ground beef as I needed to clear out my freezer and make room for 90 pounds of beef from a cow my daughter and son-in-law had processed. Still have 30 pounds of leg quarters (I may only can 20 pounds so we can have a bag for a 4th of July cookout), 2 whole chickens and 3 turkey breasts left to cook and can. I left my ground beef plain so I could use it for tacos, spaghetti, etc.

Your video is awesome, I like how you instruct step by step on what/how it's done. Your video are easy to follow. Very well spoken.

Quicker way to get rid of the grease from the ground beef, use a turkey baster!

[backachershomestead]

We've never canned beef or poultry. But this year we will start . Thanks for the video. You made it look easy.

[DebbiesHomeplace]

Great job! Always best to have what we need on hand when we want it Rachel. You make it look so easy. Slotted spoon works wonders, lol. Hugs!

I have a pampered chef mix n chop that makes cooking ground meat a breeze. Highly recommend. Tyf the video. 🌹🌹

[arizonajo]

Ooooh, good idea, taco meat! Thanks for the suggestion!

[terriarchibald]

Girl!! Take that knife and slit the tube of ground beef and dump it out! I feel bad watching you struggle to squeeze it out!! Love your channel!!

[christiansingle]

I have the same sink set up & brush from Grove. It looks like you're doing well. Shingles is a bad deal.

[ladonnaowens]

Can I use salsa instead of the seasoning mix? We light flavoring the meat with salsa.

[cynthiafisher]

Great! I should do this. I have only canned chicken so far, no other meat by itself. I wonder what my husband would say about me dragging out the canning stuff again? I just got it all put away. He hates having it all over the place! My next house will have a canning kitchen, if just for his sanity. Lol

Hi, my taco meat has no liquid in jar after they cooled just a fat line and meat above it. Is that ok?? Thank you so much for your videos!

[skinfiddler]

Would a crock pot work to cook the meat?

[Mike-rb]

* Any idea how long its sage to eat or does it have to be eaten in a year. Looking for a source of info on how long vannong yhings is safe for, suggestions? Thanks for sharing.

I am a newbie canner, but really want to can taco meat as we eat tacos once a month and would love to just grab a jar of taco meat to make things easy. My question is that the taco seasoning used in the video has the first ingredient listed as corn meal. Is this ok to can with? I was under the impression that starches were a no no. thanks for your help. Love your videos.

Interesting that you don't add any water or stock - does it produce its own stock?

[kellyh]

What do you make with the canned ground beef
