Beef Dip

Filed Under: Cooking with canning Tagged With: Dips

Beef-Dip-PN

If you have home-canned ground beef to hand and have 10 minutes, you can be serving this dip 10 minutes from now.

This has delicious taste with a great mouth-feel, with contrasting textures and flavours.

The layers are largely just jars of what you have home-canned on your shelves.

The layers aren’t cast in stone; they are more just ideas to inspire you. Substitute based on what you have to hand. The already-cooked ground beef gives it a real morish flavour.

This recipe also highlights an advantage to home canning: that you can create smaller-size jars of ingredients in just the right standard quantities for recipes, instead of opening huge store-bought jars or tins that create leftover bits of ingredients to linger and go to waste in the fridge.

You can make this up to a day ahead; store covered in fridge.

(To be clear, this is a “cooking with canning you have already done” recipe. This is not a recipe for canning.)

This recipe uses:

Home-canned kidney beans

Home-canned ground beef

Home-canned pickled jalapenos

Home-canned peach salsa (but you can use the salsa of your choice)

  • Drain kidney beans; rinse. Mash with cumin, salt sub, pepper and lime juice. Spread in bottom of your dip serving dish.
  • Empty ground beef jar water and all into a microwave-safe jug of vessel. Zap for one minute. Drain well. (Tip! Freeze beef stock for soup)

  • Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the salsa.
  • Scatter some fresh chopped coriander leaves over top (optional).

Notes

The purpose of heating the ground beef briefly is to make it give up all its canning water quickly.
Use whatever salsa you have to hand, obviously.

Serving idea

To stay with a healthier theme, serve with these homemade nacho chips that are cheaper and healthier than anything you will get from a store!

Per every 3 to 4 people you are serving dip to, take 5 corn tortillas that are roughly about 15 cm (6 inch) wide. (Exact width does not matter). Thaw first if frozen. Using something like a French knife, cut into eighths. Put in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil per 5 corn tortillas and toss till all are coated.

Cook in an oven or air fryer:

  • Oven: spread out on baking sheet, bake at 175 C (350 F) for 4 minutes. Toss, bake for another 4 minutes, toss and bake more if needed. OR
  • Basket-type air fryer: these are particularly good cooked in a basket air fryer, such as a Philips AirFryer: air fry at 180 C (350 F) for 7 to 8 minutes, toss frequently.

Watch during final minute or two of cooking as they can go from golden crispy to overcooked in an instant.

What's New in Home Canning

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

Various studies through the years show consumers are not following science-based recommendations. They are not willing to change from old methods when science updates indicate new ones are needed. A large percentage are adapting recommendations in their own ways… Over half of home canners underprocess.”
