Canning beef

Filed Under: Meat, Seasonal Winter Tagged With: Beef

home canning beef 001

Beef cans up beautifully.

While you will obviously not want to be canning prime rib roasts, grilling steaks, or fillet mignons, there are many other cuts of beef that need low and slow cooking which pressure canning just coincidentally happens to provide.

You may even can ground beef. You may think it would then be useless for making burger patties and meatloaves from and you would be right. But it means just about instant taco filling mixes are in your future. It’s also great in cream sauces, pasta dishes, rice dishes, cottage pies, stuffed in peppers, squashes and large mushroom caps, and as a layer in a hot party dip.

Many people feel that beef stores better canned than in a freezer, because in a freezer it can dry out.

    Is it safe to replace beef chunks in canning recipes with ground beef?

      Ground beef would pack differently in the jars than beef chunks, and recipes are tested in jars for how the heat flows through them to sterilize the contents of the jars during the canning process. Better to stick to the cuts indicated in the recipe, or search for other recipes that do call for ground beef.

      yes, but ground beef must ALWAYS be cooked first. Any meat (even chicken) can be substituted, as they all process for the same times (except seafood).

Quote of the day

“Don’t substitute dishwasher canning, oven canning, or open-kettle canning for an approved canning method – boiling water canning or pressure canning.”
