I appreciate that you focus on safety in your canning videos. I have seen some channels that take too many liberties with tested recipes. Thank you, I have learned some very helpful tips.
I just finished canning the half recipe and somehow ended up with a total of 10 pints of deliciousness. The flavor of this beef stew is really, really good, and searing the meat produced a fond that added to the richness of the broth. This recipe is both economical and better tasting than anything found on a grocery store shelf.
Thank you. I've always felt intimated by canning. Your tutorials are so great in being clear in the steps, you make me feel like I can can our own foods. Thank you
I 100% love this beef stew. I followed your adjustments and it turned out wonder full. I did the full 7 quart recipie and ended up with ten quarts some how but the extra run of 3 quarts is perfect. Didn't mind the extra time for 3 extra meals for my wife and I.
When reheating - the corn starch is great to thicken the liquid, and I also add a splash of red wine for more flavor (I let it all boil for about 3 mins before adding the beef and veggies) - it's yummy.
I bought a smaller pack of beef stew meat on sale, so I’m so happy to find this video (with the exact recipe I’m going to use) cut in half! I’m a new subscriber- thank you for being so clear with the process for us “nervous newbies”. I’m going to make the Split Pea soup first, then this Beef Stew.
Lord willing and the creek don't rise😉 I would like to do a couple dozen for my husband's lunches and few dozen for quick pantry meal for my lazy days. I will definitely add Worcestershire sauce...so good.
Hi Carol, I am new to canning. I love your videos. I am a very visual person and you make things so easy to follow. I would like to know how to thicken the beef stew. Thank you for sharing your gift of canning with newbies like me.
I’m definitely going to try this. My new pressure canner arrives today I’m excited to start leaning more on canning. I have done jellies before, I enjoyed it. Thanks for your great videos I been binge watching again lol
Can you tell me if you bought the canner she suggested or did you buy a different one - can I ask how much you paid - not sure where you live - I am in Canada - thx for any info you can provide to me
It canned up so pretty! I like the mixingv up of the soup better than filling jars in a cold pack method. The ingredients tend to mix better instead of being layered
Hey Carol I just found your channel 🥰 and subscribed. I have never canned before and I just got the Nestco electric canner and I am excited to do this recipe 😃 I look forward to watching all of your videos. Thanks for sharing this information 😊
Glad to see you back! I can't get your fb group to work anymore. Any idea why it wouldn't be working? It hasn't been visible to me for several weeks now. 😩
nice channel a lot of info about cooking with the Pressure Canner I'm just busy with it for my films in Germany it's unfortunately not yet that common to cook with pressure Thank you, best regards Ariel
Happy to see you back. Can you safely eliminate the celery? Can you safely add tomato paste? I don’t use celery in my stew and I usually add about a 1 tbsp of tomato paste. This would be awesome to have in the pantry.
You can do what I do, brown the meat in your oven instead of frying it. FYI... store bought stew meat doesn't necessarily mean it comes from chuck or one particular cut of meat, most of the time it's the leftover scraps from cutting all the meat types. If you want a great stew meat either get directly from a butcher or buy whatever cut of meat you like and cut into chunks yourself
Me and my husband have been down sick since the beginning of the year unfortunately. I had a lot of plans for canning meat this month and haven't done any lol
I have a question??? Since the chicken is cooked in batches---- The 1Tablespoon of vegetable oil it calls for, is that (per batch) or for cooking the whole amount of chicken. I know I have been asking a bunch of questions, but I want to make sure I do this right. I have been so scared of canning, but since I found your channel, and you make a point to say you use tested, safe recipes only, I am really wanting to try some of the recipes you have shown us. Thanks for all you d!!! Hope I don't get on your nerves too much
Almost running out of water in your canner can largely be attributed to having the water boiling for too long while you're filling jars and loading it. If you think about it, you have a large pot that's boiling and the water is evaporating the whole time. I've found if you allow the water to heat but not boil you'll have less issues or add an additional cup or two of boiling water before you close the canner you'll have enough water for the whole process
Thanks for the recipe i will be adding some tomato sauce as i like a bit of the flavor , any recipies for beef sirlon? I have older that meat to process
I don’t yet but I have beef in red wine on my canning list. Sirloin would be a good choice for that. It’s in the Ball Blue Book if you have it. I’ll be doing the video soon but you may need it sooner than I can get to it.
I tried the tattler lids during my steam canning, only 1 sealed the other 3 failed so in the freezer they went. I’ll only use regular lids during my steam canning projects. Thought you’d like to know.
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 good morning. I looked up the ingredients of the McCormick mix. I totally forgot it had thickener in it. I love your videos. Found you last night and subscribed. Canning beef stew today😊
New canner here.... I have the AA canner. I've used my canner for a few weeks now. My weight doesn't jiggle when it gets up to pressure. Is this a problem? I can keep the 11 pounds of pressure, and my canner hisses and steams, but the weight doesn't jiggle.
The AA canner is considered a weighted gauge canner and your weight should rock. Are you canning at the correct psi for your altitude? You should also have the gauge checked or replaced of your think it isn’t working properly but you should always go by the jiggling regardless what the gauge reads. Please read through your manual as it explains this 😊
Sorry to hear you’ve been ill. May I ask, was your canning pantry a go to for quick easy food when juggling illness/mothering recovery? And if so, what items were favorites? Thank you for sharing this beef stew recipe. It’s super helpful to learn how canning pros safely tweak tested recipes to account for taste preferences. Do you think adding garlic powder to taste is better after canning? Like adding a suggestion of garlic power at the same time as mixing in thickening agent when reheating?
Yes my pantry was filled with healthy options that helped me… canned fruit, chicken stock, and Chicken Stew/pot pie filling were my go to’s. I added noodles to the Chicken Stew and had nutritious chicken noodle soup in just a few minutes. As far as adding garlic powder both options are delicious….
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you. I’ve not been poorly these past two years - if you get my meaning. But it’s sure to happen eventually. I’ve got various stocks and broths actual canned but not chicken stew. Best I get my skates on. Think I’ll do chicken and sweet corn. And hope to be able to taste it… 😬 but at least I’ll know it’s nutritious! Great content, Carol. And thank you again for your helpful reply.
Is everything from the ball preserving book also in balls complete book? I am planning on purchasing one and only want to buy one if it has the same recipes😎. Thank you so much for this series.
Good morning. I made the recipe and used quart jars. I canned outside and my gas ran out at exactly 15 minutes left to can. I'm guessing. I'll have to eat this this week or freeze? My meat was already cooked. Any suggestions. This is my 4th time to try canning. So newbie here .
Do you have any favorite canned meals that a man would enjoy taking to work? I am think I may spend this week focused on making a large variety pantry for my husband to take to work.
Thank you Carol ❤ This looks great. As a newbie..I've had a question on Canning stew the "layered" way we see on many YT channels.

Why would you add everything into the beef when you can brown the beef, put in jars and add the veggies? Seems like veggies this way will get them mushy. Ew.

Thank you Carol for your great videos! The way you are so through is so helpful!! ❤
I have never canned but ready to start. You are a blessing. I am going to do this fir my first try. Hugs Carol ❤️
Cheering for you 💕
You will love it. I am a new canner. Do not fell bad for asking questions to this wonderful sight. She has been there for me. Great canning to you
We have missed you. I love your videos.
Good to see your video!
Glad you’re feeling better. That stew looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for this video
Good to see you again. Hope you and your family had a great holiday season. Sorry you were sick. Thanks, Carol, for another good video.

I’ve made this it’s really good. I added more thyme and one bay leaf in each pint jar before I processed it
Well, you answered my question. Can a bay leaf be added to the stew?
YAY!! First video of the year and you look pretty in that color!!
When reheating - the corn starch is great to thicken the liquid, and I also add a splash of red wine for more flavor (I let it all boil for about 3 mins before adding the beef and veggies) - it's yummy.

Add a cornstarch slurry when reheating
Thanks Carol, I'm saving this one to make.

Can you store bought canned corn
Love your videos!🥰
nice channel a lot of info about cooking with the Pressure Canner I'm just busy with it for my films in Germany it's unfortunately not yet that common to cook with pressure Thank you, best regards Ariel
Wonderful! Thank you so much. 💕
I'm new to canning and so excited I found your channel here. Was wondering what the shelf life is for the stew and the pot pie
At least 18 months
Thank you!
Can I ask what potatoes you used?
I just used russets
Happy to see you back. Can you safely eliminate the celery? Can you safely add tomato paste? I don’t use celery in my stew and I usually add about a 1 tbsp of tomato paste.
This would be awesome to have in the pantry.
Yes to both 😁
Hi Carol, I was so excited to see you this morning. I've been wondering if beer is safe to add when canning beef stew
I would add when reheating 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank so much, I was having a heck of a time trying to find this out! Looking forward to more recipes!

Better than bouillon doesn’t have MSG either. But where did you get that larger size Carol?
Costco always has it 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks!!
Me and my husband have been down sick since the beginning of the year unfortunately. I had a lot of plans for canning meat this month and haven't done any lol
Hi Carol, In following the same recipe, is it safe to use pork roast?
Yes
How much kitchen bouquet or worchestershire sauce would you use?
A tablespoon or so
I have a question??? Since the chicken is cooked in batches---- The 1Tablespoon of vegetable oil it calls for, is that (per batch) or for cooking the whole amount of chicken.

Would it be safe to add s splash of red wine before canning?
Yes
This looks so yummy! Is it safe to use diced tomatoes in their liquid in place of beef broth?
Yes
Thanks for the recipe i will be adding some tomato sauce as i like a bit of the flavor
, any recipies for beef sirlon?
I have older that meat to process

Can you swap radishes for potatoes and where would I go to find an answer like that?
Thanks for sharing this recipe, sounds amazing.
Unrelated question: Since your the queen of steam canning, can we use tattler lids ?
You should be able to use any lid for steam canning that your use for water bath canning
Ok thanks, I’ll give them a try. But am liking my new steam canner:)
I tried the tattler lids during my steam canning, only 1 sealed the other 3 failed so in the freezer they went. I’ll only use regular lids during my steam canning projects. Thought you’d like to know.
My family is not a fan of celery. Could I substitute corn for the celery?
I wouldn’t sub. Just leave it out 😊
Can you add McCormick beef stew mix?
I would add it when you open a jar
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 good morning. I looked up the ingredients of the McCormick mix. I totally forgot it had thickener in it. I love your videos. Found you last night and subscribed. Canning beef stew today😊
Would it be safe to sub peas for the celery?
Yes
Hi Carol, how long do you keep this beef stew in your pantry? Thanks!
18 months to 3 years

Could you use venison instead of beef?
Yes
Does the meat get really tender or no??
Yes
I also used beef stock made from better than bullion
Is everything from the ball preserving book also in balls complete book? I am planning on purchasing one and only want to buy one if it has the same recipes😎. Thank you so much for this series.
They are similar but not exact
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thanks!
I've only done cold pack for this, but I'll try hot pack and see how I like it. ( no dogs barking today? 😉)
Good morning. I made the recipe and used quart jars. I canned outside and my gas ran out at exactly 15 minutes left to can. I'm guessing. I'll have to eat this this week or freeze? My meat was already cooked. Any suggestions. This is my 4th time to try canning. So newbie here .
Yes eat this week or freeze 😊
Thank you. Atleast it looks yummy. Enjoy your day.
Do you have any favorite canned meals that a man would enjoy taking to work? I am think I may spend this week focused on making a large variety pantry for my husband to take to work.
What other vegetables could I use instead of potatoes? I don't care for potatoes.
Just leave them out
Parsnips or turnips, both are root vegetables
I bet a splash of red wine would be good in this
A few TBS of tomato paste will also thicken it.
Thank you Carol ❤
This looks great. As a newbie..I've had a question on Canning stew the "layered" way we see on many YT channels.
Layering and Hot pack with cold veggie question 🤔🤔
What you're doing here seems to be fully approved method.
The veggies are are essentially warmed up this way...not pre cooked.
I have some beef in the fridge waiting...will go for it 😊💕
I called the 800 number for all American canner. The tech said no need to steam for 10 minutes...weight on after first jiggle. Said they needed to update instructions.
