You know you can put veggies in there as well, like peppers garlic cloves, and onions to add flavor.I will start playing with recipes next time, if I like it. I just did a small simple batch to see if I like it. My old roommate back in my barracks days was from Newfoundland and his family would mail him a case of canned moose every year, and it was great!

Btw, why did you add olive oil?

Canned meat is great. I put a couple slices of onion, a t of salt, and a T or so of garlic in each quart with 1.25 pounds of meat. It is my wife's favorite way to eat game meat.

I've heard the jars are a PITA to clean, and I am hoping the oil will help with that, and add a little flavor...I love olive oil!

Let us know, yes the jars need to be scrubbed hard, but I don't have a dishwasher so I use softscrub with bleach.

Throw some Bacon in next time, once it is cool pop it open and enjoy. One of my favorites is to cook up some rice, open a jar of meat put it on top of the rice and dinner is served.
Do you cook the bacon first, or just raw with the rest of the meat? How much bacon per jar?

How long should I wait to try it?
You should probably try to wait until it is cool to the touch. :chuckle:
That looks awesome.
I am a big fan of canned meat.
Toss together a roux, some beef broth, potatoes and carrots until tender, then toss that into the mix for a quick and tasty stew. :EAT:

It should probably be at least partly cooked so you can remove some of the grease. A microwave and paper towels would work.

We used raw bacon just a couple small chunks in with the meat, about a quarter of one slice cut in two and packed in. :twocents:

Try some Lipton Onion soup mix in the jar. That is really tasty.
That sounds good. How much per pint or quart?

Or just go the cheap way and add 1 T of dried onion and garlic powder. Better yet toss in 1/4 of an onion and a tablespoon of minced garlic. You don't need the chemicals of a soup mix in there IMO.
Use some beef bullion to instead of soup mix.

I like to drain the liquid off and fry it up with sliced potatoes or make gravy out of the liquid and then warm the meat, place it on bread and pour the gravy over the meat.

Is it OK to can un-equal sizes of meat, or does it need to stay pretty uniform? Canning trim is appealing to me at times, but I've never gone ahead and done it.
With in reason yes, canning is high temp and pressure, smaller pieces might fall apart, but it's still edible, larger will be cooked thru out. I wouldn't cut a slab that filled the jar to can. :chuckle:

:yeah: I like to have fairly even sized pieces to use, but has nothing to do with processing.
:yeah: X2
We packed it fairly tight too
