Beef Canning Made Easy: Hot Pack Method For 2023
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Home canning hot pack beef is a delicious and convenient way to preserve meat for future use. The process involves preparing the beef by cutting it into chunks or cubes, then heating it in water or broth until it's hot throughout. Once the beef is hot, it is packed into sterilized jars and topped with the hot liquid, leaving enough headspace. The jars are then sealed and processed in a pressure canner according to the recommended time and pressure for beef. This method ensures that the beef is safely preserved and can be enjoyed in stews, soups, and other dishes whenever you desire a hearty and flavorful meal. I am canning stewing beef cubes by using a pressure canner and using the hot pack method.

I've said it before and I'll say it again! You are such an asset to the prepper community. Always look forward to your videos! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so very much for the wonderful comment.
I absolutely enjoy your videos. I have learned alot from you.I copy your recipes and try them. I love it. Thankyou. ❤❤❤
My mom would cold pack the jars and put a small garlic clove in it. It was always so good
That sounds yummy!
Love the cookie sheet idea!
Thank you!
Those look fabulous I will try this for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
I love hanging out with you in your kitchen.
Thanks Cathy!
Thank you so much for sharing the hot pack method for canning beef. It looks delicious. I still have not used my all American. Lol. Thanks for participating in the #jaritup2023 challenge.💚
Let's get that canner fired up! You're welcome Crystal.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I know, right. Soon.
Looks fascinating. I bet the beef is very tender. Thanks for sharing!
It is! its very good!
Beautiful canned meat LeAnn. I used my last jar of ground beef tonight to make Tacos. I have a lot of canning to do as soon as I recoup from my back surgery. Lets all make 2023 a great year.
Absolutely, let’s make this year for canning and pantry building!! Thanks for being here!
Prayers for a successful recovery.
I agree, hot pack beef is a great way to pressure can. I like raw pack for chicken though. Your cutting board inside a cookie sheet is such a smart idea! Thanks for the video!
Having canned beef on my pantry shelf is a favorite. I have always done raw packed. But I may try hot packing after seeing how beautiful your jars turned out.
You should!
I've used up all my canned beef, so I'm needing to get it in bulk as you had. Oh and I love how you used the oven to cook the meat first. That will save me time standing over a pan. I'm totally going to start doing that with my meats!
Thanks, LeAnne, I look forward to your videos...
I'm glad to hear that!
I always raw pack my beef but your hot pack beef looks very pretty in the jar. Thanks for sharing and doing Canuary.
Thanks Teresa!
What gorgeous jars, LeAnne! And the best part is that it is your own steer.
Yes, Molly, I love how I can be in control of my food supply.
I want to thank you I didn’t know how to canned beef and now I do. You are such an inspiration, and I am so glad that you put videos out to help us us
You are so welcome! Just your comment alone made the effort worth while!
Thanks for sharing! I have always done cold pack with beef. I am going to try hot pack next, because of this video!
I'm glad I can inspire you!
I canned 20 pounds of chicken yesterday. I also canned beef as you are and its nice to have it all ready to use!
Yes it very handy to have!
Always a pleasure watching you and gleaning ideas off of how you do things.
LeAnn, nice apron! I don't know why but for 50 years I have always prefered cold packing beef, pork and chicken. But nicely done young lady. I agree you are an asset! Thank you
Sounds great!
Thank you, Leanne. Another well done video. I’m lazy and tend to prefer raw pack, but you made the hotpack method look very easy.
Thank you Crystal! Yes, hot packing isn't that much more effort at all. Thanks for watching!
A little tip I learned from Sutton Daze channel - hold a canning lid behind the vent and you can see how strong the steam is. Great video and the meat looked amazing. Thank you.
Thanks Dianne! I hope I remember that tip!
Hot packed beef looks so much nicer than raw pack! Next time I will try the hot pack method. Thanks LeAnne.
You are always a joy to listen and watch, done raw packing must try it this way! Take care!
Please do!
Oh they look delicious! So beautiful.😋
Amazing as always. I am so happy to be in collabs with you. You are such a great inspiration to so many people. You should be quite proud of your channel. Love you and God Bless....Greg
Thank you so much for the very kind words! love ya too!
Thank you Leanne. I LOVE to can and stock my shelves. Empty those freezers, saves on the worries.
Amen!
Looks great! Canned proteins are the best!
Thanks Rene!
Thanks so much Leanne for being so percise with the canning for us new canner. Love all your video`s.
Glad you like them!
Great job!
Thanks for the visit
I always love your videos. You are so down to earth and help us all feel like we can do what you are doing. Thank you for this great video.
Thank you Mary Ann! That’s a very kind of you to say!!
I love the idea of the cutting board on a cookie sheet; genius! I use the same Presto guide to can meat.; very handy. Love your sense of humor,
!
Thanks so much! Yes, the cookie sheet helps with sanitation and clean up is faster.
I always look forward to your videos!!💜The cutting board in the baking sheet is an awesome idea and new to me, I'll be doing that! Thanks for another great video that's so well done with instructions!!
Thank you Crystal!
Glad to see you up and about. I’ve never cooked my beef before canning I just might have to try something new. Have a Blessed weekend
Thank you, I am almost over this cold. I am feeling much better.
Wow you’re having a busy day! So worth it! Nice cast iron pot holders on the counter! ❤
I know I got it all done. I absolutely love my cast iron pot holders, you would like a pair I know a girl! 😉
Oh my! That is a lot of meat and a lot of work! They look wonderful too. And you still have chicken to do as well... bless your heart! I pray that you will get a good night of rest. Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕
I've been wanting to can beef, but I haven't found a great sale yet. Thank you for inspiring me to renew my efforts. 😊
Go for it!
Thanks for sharing . Love that you give all the steps and the process. Makes it easy for us beginners.
Glad it was helpful!
I love canned meat. I learned how to can last year so I could have shelf stable meat. I usually raw pack unless I am making a recipe like Mississippi Pot Roast.
I made some Mississippi Pot Roast a year ago. We just opened it and the dill flavor had infused into the meat. It was so good. I used whole pepperoncini so it wasn’t too spicy. It was perfect for me. I think it was pork roast.
I am enjoying your videos. I also saw a loaf of homemade bread and I think I saw your canned applesauce on the counter. You are an inspiration!! Have a blessed day!
I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos. It;s my heart on a plate.
Thanks LeAnne when I finally get the courage to pressure can then I will be canning meat. Love the way you teach.
Nothing to be afraid of, just follow the directions and you'll be fine. It's really only scary that first time : )
Go for it!
Beautiful LeAnn! They look so delicious. I hope you and your family have a blessed evening and night!
Thank you! We will since he is finally home and pizza is about to come out of the oven. God Bless!
Leeann, I love your videos. I learn so much from them.
My Mother In Law gifted me with a pressure canner for Christmas and I can't wait to try canning beef. I get so many great canning ideas from your channel.
That is awesome! I think every house hold should have a pressure canner! I'm glad I can inspire you!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I just gotta cook up the guts to go ahead and take it for its first ride LOL. (Irrational fear)
i have aways thought cold pack was the prefered choice for most canning containing meat but i may have to try this
I prefer hot pack over raw pack for most meat but for some reason, I haven't tried hot pack pork yet.
Looks great, LeAnne!
Thanks Devon!
Thank you! I actually learned something. I was putting the weight on too soon. I was not waiting for that super fast solid stream the video definitely assisted me with that. And pushing down the meat was extremely helpful. I always thought I had to have space between the meat in order for it to get cooked properly for canning. So thank you I will be saving this for the next time I can beef
You got this! I am glad my video was very helpful for you! I receive comments that they learn a lot from my videos .
Awesome LeAnne! I haven’t done beef like that yet….. but I’m sure i will.😄
Oh Leanne. You are so funny.I love your videos 😆
Yay! Thank you!
That is so much work but well worth it on a busy day or if your power goes out.
absolutely!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO 🤗❤️.I SAVED IT FOR REFERENCE. IM SO WANTING TO DO BEEF!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the lesson on canning beef
Thanks for watching!
I do mine @375 for 20”. I also use a commercial powdered beef broth with little additives. Just did 11 turkeys, came out beautifully
Wonderfu!
Great video. I love canning meat. It’s so nice to have on the shelf.
It really is!
Great video.. I love canning beef so handy when you're busy.. that's for sharing
It really is! Thanks for watching!
I have cold packed my roasts. I will need to give the hot pack method a try.
That beef looked so yummy, thanks for sharing Leanne.
I just canned some beef today and pork loin yesterday.
Great video Leeann. I usually cold pack mine but I love how pretty yours is hot packing it. I'm gonna do it your way next time. Ty.
Go for it Carol! Thanks for watching!
Nice job LeeAnn
Thanks! 😊
Great tutorial hun :)
Thank you 😊
Very pretty beef!
Thank you!
I have seen both methods of canning meat. I think I will try them both. Thank you for sharing.
You should!
You are a great teacher.
Wow, thank you!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse you are welcome 🥰
Love your videos Thank you for all you do
Thanks for sharing. Have missed your videos.
It's nice to be missed! I am glad to be back and standing up right!
Good morning Leanne ☕
Watching replay 🇺🇸
Good morning Tamra!
This is a great video. Thanks LeAnne.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m glad to see your you tube miss watching I thought you stop or something happen
No just had back issues and a head cold, I’m back!
Gotta love an All-American Canne … they just keep working! Thanks for the lesson! I’d be curious if you find that hot packing meats tends to make it any more or less tender than raw pack?? So far I’ve only ever raw packed ‘ugly chicken’ and while it’s certainly easy enough, I’ve been curious what differences there may be in the end product.
I think both methods are tender. Its been awhile since I have used a jar of raw pack chicken. I love the tenderness of baked chicken before packing into jars.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great video!❤
Glad you liked it!!
I love using my AA canner, the meat's come out soo delicious.😋🤤❤️
Absolutely!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Leanne. It's always guys to know how pack and cold pack methods. Whatever your comfortable with is whati say.
I am going to be doing canning beef this coming week. I'm a new subscriber :)
Welcome, I’m glad you are here!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse thank you!
Great video. Would like to see how you use the beef. Thanks for the video.
I will work on that!
Your beef looks really pretty in the jars! Did you add salt to the jars at all? I have canned beef, pork, venison, chicken, and turkey. I do hot packs, too.
Thank you! I don't add salt because my husband is picky about his salt intake.
Yum. Looks tasty
Thank you 😋
Thanks
Welcome!
I've only ever done raw pack for beef, does hot pack beef stay together a bit better when you take it out of the jar? I know with raw back it usually turns to shreds when I heat it up and stir it.
Yes it holds its shape better than raw pack when you take it out of the jar.
And your jars aren’t such a mess
Leanne Do you buy your meat in bulk or do you raise animals on your farm for food?
We raise our own steers for food but I buy chicken and pork in bulk at the mennonite market.
I love canning meat. My go to is chicken (usually breast) and stew meat.
Question regarding cleaning those jars after using the beef, I end up with stubborn sediment that is difficult to clean--what is your method for cleaning jars that had meats? I also have this problem with my potato jars leaving a ring where the liquid sat.
Last question: what do you do with cracked jars? Even the smallest of cracks have been happening and I hate to throw out quart jars if I can use them for something else, ideas? Thanks for your wonderful variety of videos, such a great inspiration!
I have a jar brush that I use for cleaning that I love. I find that brush at a Mennonite dry good store. I use the cracked jars for storing food in like herbs that I grew myself.
Meat and poultry do not last in the freezer How long do they last canned or dried?
I can about 40 jars and it will keep for 2 years but I use it up before then
Where do you get that ladle? I love it
Amazon, I have it linked in my amazon store front. I love it!
That is beautiful! I will have to try hot pack, always done raw. Yes jars a pain to clean. Curious if I can roast for less time?
You probably can you just wanna make sure they are cooked on the outside. I just want to add color to add flavor.
I love having meat on the shelves.
What name brand is your pressure canner?
I have an All American from the 1930's and a 23 quart Presto
How much water in bottom of canner
Mine canner needs 3 quarts but please follow the manual that came with your canner.
Cold pack (ugly) meat is, admittedly, easier, but I prefer hot pack. I also add the juices from the pan back to whatever liquid I'm using to fill the jars. Adds a lil more flavor and no waste.
exactly!
I prefer to hot pack all meat for the texture, clearer broth and cleaner jars!
Absolutely!
I would need to have a major life change to go long enough without canning chicken broth to forget it's 25min for quarts 🤣🤣 that's just me, check your guides!
Yes!
I love having meat canned on my shelves.
Why do you trim the fat? What’s the point of that thanks.
So I can get more beef in the jar
I am not so sure we would eat lots and lots meat or poultry
Well I think it’s good to have some on hand because store bought is terrible expensive
Water has no flavor.
Ok
