Every once in a while, I want sausage gravy and biscuits but I don't want to have to dig it out of the freezer and thaw it so I don't make it. This is genius.
Thanks so much Leisa for standing in for That 1870's Homestead during their family emergency. I have learned so much from you about pressure canning safely. Just goes to show that even at 81 yrs old you can still learn new things. I feel so much better knowing I have things on my shelves to feed us if there is an emergency and we can't get to the store. Bless you.
I panic about the grid system too. I lived and froze through the Texas grid system failure for 8 days. Hubby and I are in 70's but learned this too can happen to you! This is why the pantry inventory this year was PARAMOUNT to getting my protein shelf stable now, instead of later. Thank you Leisa for giving us courage, knowledge and incentive to can year round.
I totally understand. I'm next door in south Louisiana & in a major hurricane area. We live under threat 6 months of the year. It's important we stay alert to what's in our freezers. One reason I absolutely love canning.
I'm in Texas too. We only lost power for a few hours here and there. The greatest thing was having beef stew and soups canned up! I just needed to heat a few minutes. I love having shelf stable food!
Had a power surge here in September. It took out my fridge/freezer, water heater, and air/heat. Though I've water bath canned for years, I never graduated to pressure canning. That power surge gave me the nudge to buy a pressure canner and have begun putting my proteins on the shelf. All these recipes have been great inspiration. Thank you
Thank you for all of your educational videos Leisa! You've inspired me so much! My daddy is the one who introduced me to you in March 2022 as I was caring for him in his last days. He told me to watch your videos, learn and get to canning! You are a blessing sweet friend!
This is fantastic. Canning ingredients is a life saver! Tonight I had to run our youngest child to a birthday party, so my daughter opened up canned beef, canned potatoes, canned beans, broth, and tomatoes and made an amazing hamburger soup. She was so grateful for the convenience of canned ingredients and had supper on the table in 20 minutes. I’m so thankful for this collaboration, my pantry stability is growing weekly and I’ve learned soooo much!!💗
I adore my meat chopper! Got one at the Dollar Tree, and I loved it so much I bought a spare! It makes cooking any kind of ground meat so much easier. I don't know how I didn't realize ground sausage could be pressure canned. Now that I know I am adding that to my list! Thank you for putting together this Canuary series!
I just paid $4.39 a pound for ground sausage on sale, UGH! So I have canned this and actually mix sausage with ground chuck to make my chili. It is so good. This was actually the first thing I ever canned during Covid when I found your channel. You gave me the courage and now I have helped family members that have canned all their lives and have never canned ground sausage before! So now I can dubb it ugly meat, but it is so good!!!!!!
Following your videos and trying to learn, I canned my very first large batches of meat-beef chunks, chicken, and ground beef. I was scared to death of losing 40 pounds of meat but EVERY SINGLE ONE sealed and turned out perfectly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and safe practices. As a newbie to canning, I truly appreciate you and your commitment to this channel. :) I am building confidence in my ability to do this. I also have purchased For Jar lids after such good reviews. Thanks again, from another Lisa
This is actually kinda funny but a true story. I had the name Lisa P for years until around 2 or 3 years ago. TH-cam suddenly deleted my account and wouldn't give it back. I had to create a whole nother account. It just amused me to see the old name again. I completely understand your fear of doing it wrong when learning. I have only been doing this for a few years and I was absolutely paranoid lol. My first project was broth and I was afraid to use it for awhile because I didn't debubble. One thing that helped me was getting a jiggler because I would sit and stare at the gauge. Congratulations on having every single one seal!
I am so glad that you did this video. I have really shied away from canning pork, especially sausage because of the high fat content. But now that I see that you do it and recommend it, I will try it as well. Thankyou Leisa!
@@lisapop5219 How ironic on the name!! my very first (and only -until the meat)canning session was potatoes because if I ruined them it was not so expensive. It was only semi-successful after a lot of siphoning because I wouldn't leave the temp alone. My fault. After re-processing, it was successful. I waited 6 months before trying again. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Canned sausage sounds like a great idea. I'm still learning and Canuary has been great for instruction and inspiration. Thank you for putting together the collab and to you and ForJars for providing prizes. Honestly, I'd watch anyway, with or without prizes.
Going back over all of these videos to make sure I have all the recipes, and that I've commented on every one of them because I really don't want to miss a chance at these wonderful prizes! I'm canning a lot of protein because it's honestly the hardest and most important thing to have shelf stable as far as store availability and price. Canning my own and saving freezer space has been the biggest priority because other things are cheap and easy to buy, so they are further down on the priority list.
The canning QUEEN strikes again!! All this shelf ready food makes my life so much easier and food security is a beautiful thing. Leisa you never cease to amaze me. Anything I can get out of the freezer gives me peace of mind ❤
We canned 20 pounds of ground sausage and about 30 pounds of ground beef last summer following your video directions and they both turned out great. I am glad to see this video as it is a good review. Thanks so much for your teachings.
Thanks for always stressing food safety in canning methods! And so glad you stepped in to make an extra video to help another canuary canner in time of need. I've never canned sausage but now I will give it a try!
I have enjoyed watching all of these lovely ladies work in their kitchens to share wonderful ideas and recipes. Thank you for initiating a sense of community and starting a movement towards self sufficiency. I appreciate the concern of safety especially for people that are new to canning. Happy Canuary!
Thank you for teaching us the tested way. It helps as a newer pressure canner user to know what is known safe. It gives me a good base line to work off of.
I never get bored watching your videos. I look forward every year to Canuary. Thank you, for organizing all the beautiful canners that participate, and bringing us all such excellent content. Thank you to ForJars for joining, and sponsoring this year's Canuary.
Thank you for this VERY important way to make our food shelf stable for be prepared for a grid down situation. I have canned for over 30 years and only started canning proteins in the last couple years. I was raised canning and this was just something our family had never done. I love having shelf stable protein! Thank you for organizing Canuary! It really helps so many of us. We are never too old to learn!
The first time I wanted to make tacos for dinner and reached instead for a jar of ground beef (already seasoned with onion, garlic, and cumin) rather than take a package from the freezer, go through the thawing and cooking process, I was hooked on canning Taco Meat. I see all the benefits of having canned sausage right there beside it. Thanks, Leisa! I have a 4th project coming up! And thanks also to ForJars making all this possible. Lovin' it. 💟
You ladies make this look so easy and encourage those of us new to pressure canning. I love that each of you are canning the safe way. Thank you for sharing!
I started canning meat this year as I was also worried about loosing our freezer contents. We have 3 full freezers and I've been trying to can my way through a bunch of meat whenever I have a bit of time available. Thanks Leisa for setting up Canuary and helping out Rachel and Todd when they needed to step away. Thank ForJars, I love your product! I'm almost through my 2nd 100 and have had no failures.
I haven't been a huge fan of ground sausage until the last couple of years, it's so versatile. Having it in jars would be even faster for meals than frozen.
I love that you not only tell how to can ground meat, but why it is not safe to raw pack it. I am a relatively new canner. I was gifted my uncle's old national no. 7 after he passed, and I have been trying to put all kinds of meals on my pantry shelves, so that even when I'm sick, or after I'm gone, I can still be feeding my family the foods they enjoy the most. It goes beyond convenience for me, for sure. It is one thing I can do for my family that will last quite awhile. I'm working on building my year's supply, but knowing how and why some things work and others don't is important so that everything I put up is safe for the people I love.
Thank you, Leisa. I've only canned meat in recipes, never alone but will do so now. I just love Canuary. Thank you to For Jars, (BEST LIDS EVER!) for sponsoring, and all channels participating. Sending love and prayers to Rachel and Todd.
We have ice storms here in the midwest where I live. Having canned goods on my shelves makes me very happy to know i dont need to leave my warm house to go panic shopping. Love these vids Leisa!
Leisa, as you wrap up Canuary for '23, great job. You and the collab team have done another exceptional job. Engaging, detailed, lots of information and examples. From us newer canners, thanks again.
I so appreciate the way you explain why you shouldn't do certain things while canning. I like to know the why not, it helps me to understand the process so much better. Thank you!
You are seriously a canning goddess! I always learn from you and feel safe with your knowledge. Thanks for filling in for Rachel and Todd ❤ It feels like family to be watching all these Canuary and For Jars videos!
You are definitely by far, one of the best preppers to really explain the ins and outs of canning. I absolutely love your channel. I only just discovered you a couple weeks ago, been trying to catch up on videos in between prepping, shopping, stacking and preserving. Until recently the only thing I ever canned was vegetables from the garden in summer and fall, then the canner would be put away until next harvest. We'll not anymore, I'm now canning meats, and the canner is being used quite frequently when I find a deal in the meat department. Thank you for being real and teaching us more.
We are a busy family of 6 and learning to safely can chicken and ground beef has been a dinner time saver! We can hit up the sales and have it at the ready. For some reason I'm still keeping my sausage in the freezer through - why haven't I done this yet?! Thanks for the inspiration on this and all the Canuary episodes!!
I’m starting to think you’re reading my mind. I’m planning on canning ground beef and taco meat for the first time. Sadly I don’t have any sausages. Looking for the perfect recipe to make my own sausages. Thank you !!! I hope all is well with Rachel. I think she’s coming back home on the weekend. 🤞And I want to thank Rachel for introducing me to canuary and your channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you Leisa for organizing the January/Canuary collabs. Lots of great canning videos throughout the six years. The meat chopping is a fabulous tool that can even mash potatoes. ForJars lids are amazing! ~ Kate
Thank you so much for putting together this collaboration. This is my first year and I have enjoyed watching everyone. I have learned a lot also. I’m going to start canning again this year after being away for 20 years. I lived in the mountains and couldn’t raise a garden without a greenhouse but have moved so I will get back at it. Sausage is a great idea. Thanks again!
This has been an awesome collaboration Leisa. I love ingredient canning, I call it my fast food for quick meals. I have a pampered chef meat chopper that has been a total game changer for browning ground meat. Thank you for giving us the approved method for all canning. 💕
I just scored $1, 1 pound rolls of Bob Evans sausage recently at our local grocery store, and man oh man, you know I scooped them up by the handful! I ended up with 73 rolls, 73 pounds of sausage in the house. I was tickled pink. Just finished up yesterday, getting it all processed and on the shelf. You did a great job explaining, Leisa! Thanks for that! :) I keep trying to get the word out that I am not a nut for canning my meats, it is so convenient for us, and my freezers are no longer over flowing, which is a great thing going into the new year.
Yes, Yes. Another great option for breakfast. Thanks for all the support for us Canuary newbies and returnees. We are a biscuits and gravy home, this will make it easier to choose any day of the week instead of a weekend! Love the videos. I already have put up 102 jars this month and need to order more forjar lids already.👍
❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR PUTTING CANUARY 2023 together! This was my first trip through this wonderful program. Again thank you for all your hard work for putting this program together and ForJars for sponsoring! Looking forward to watching more of these presenters in the future…. I learned a great deal from all of them! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK! ❤❤❤
Thank you Leisa for putting together such a wonderful canning collab! I'm enjoying collecting new ideas and recipes from folks I'm already familiar with, as well as new folks I wouldn't otherwise see! Bravo, my Dear!
We lost our fridges & freezers after Hurricane Ian and didn’t get power back for 11 days. LOVING learning about making shelf stable foods. Another Canuary item I’m excited to try! Thank you Leisa & For Jars!
Thank you for having this wonderful canning collab! I’ve canned the beans that are to help remove the gas factor, excited to see how that turned out! I’ve learned so much this month, my first time watching Canurary! I have sausage in the freezer, love how you presented this video. I’ll be trying this one out asap. You are very much appreciated 🙏😊!
I’ve never canned sausage Belford. I have done ground beef and making sloppy joe is so much easier with it on my shelf. I’m definitely canning this for my biscuits and gravy. I don’t know why I never thought of this so thank you so much for sharing. And thank you Leisa for this collab and thank you For Jar lids. I’m loving Canuary! I don’t know what I’m going to do when there is not a daily Canuary video to watch ❤️
We love our chopper tool. Last year I gave everyone on our list one of them and they were all like, “Eh.” I told them to just use it, then talk to me. Now all of them love it so much that they cannot live without them. Haha. Thanks for the great tutorial on this-another good one to put on my to try list (once I get a pressure canner that is).
I love ingredient canning too because it just makes meal planning so much easier. It also makes canning projects a little less intense. Thanks for all your advice and creating this Collab!
This is so awesome. I've always thought I am a proficient canner, but I've realized by watching all the videos this collaboration has put out that I didn't know you could do so much with meat. Thank you so much for putting this together. All of you have taught me something new. My hope is to eventually try all of these recipes that everyone has shared. God bless all of you. BTW, I have ordered the ForJars lids. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Thank you for always doing safe and approved canning methods. Your ideas of how to use what you can is also wonderful. I’m looking forward to doing this as well as SO MANY other shared ideas this month. I also have the meat chopper and love it. It’s amazing how well it works.
Thank you for filling in Leisa! I have learned so much about canning and getting new ideas from Canuary! I am just starting out with pressure canning. Thanks to all for your collaboration!
Another recipe going into my Canning Bucket list!!.. And definitely Safety first!!. Especially when it comes to families Health!! Thanks Leisa for the collaboration and for offering an awesome end of the month random... along with Forjars!! that pretty amazing!! :)
I appreciate all the knowledge that you share with us! 🎉 I’m really enjoying all these Canuary videos and it’s giving me confidence to do more of my own canning!
Absolutely love the backslash behind the stove and the way it reflects off the cook top. I love having meat on my shelf to make last minute meals. As a busy family it has saved me several times.
Thanks for standing in for Rachel and Todd. I pray anything thing is ok with them. I love having ground beef or pork on the shelf. So much easier to get a meal on the table. Thank you!
As much as we use various sausages around this place...especially to many, many uses for ground sausages I HAVE been considering canning for myself. How timely for you to share!! THANK YOU
Leisa, thank you for explaining the why and how during your process, and not just the what. You are an excellent instructor! I'm excited to try ForJars lids; they look really nice and sturdy!
Thank you Leisa for "Suttons Daze"!! You have taught me 90% of all my canning!! I Love watching and learning from those whom have knowledge. You have been so helpful in all my success. Canuary & Forjars has kept me busy this month. I am trying to do every recipe I have been watching.
Truly a concern with loss of power for our freezer, so making sausage shelf stable will be a win for us! Thanks for all you've done and taught us Leisa!!
This looks great! There's so many possibilities for this. By the time I get all the Canuary things done and canned, it'll be time for Canuary 2024 - there are so many great things to can! Thank you for all these recipes and collaboration!
I have pork sausage in my freezer and I agree about not wanting to rely on the electric grid. I also like the convenience of using already cooked sausage. My kids like pizza on Friday night and this will make pizza night much easier and faster. Thank you for Canuary and teaching us the correct way to pressure can. Blessings!
Thank you for explaining everything you do. I actually canned a few jars of ground sausage from processing one of our pigs. I ended up seasoning it with taco seasoning since my family loves taco night! I used my ForJar lids and they all sealed beautifully.
Thank you Leisa. I will be doing this with ground beef. I will be so glad to make my beef shelf stable and reduce my dependence on the grid. Thank you For Jars for sponsoring Canuary! Julia
Thanks for "Canuary'. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. You are the one that I learned about for jars. This recipe looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
It never fails. I always learn some new tips from these videos. I didn't know vinegar tsrnished the rings faster. Thank you so much for this collaboration!
I've canned ground beef , venison , pork for BBQ, stew meat, meat for chili, tacos, and ground Italian sausage for pizza. Hadn't thought of canning breakfast sausage. This is going to be a nice addition to my proteins. I have 3 shoulders waiting to be made into sausage. This will be a good way to add some freezer space. Thanks for adding some ideas for those of us who are seasoned canners. Never to old to learn new ideas.
Love having sausage on the shelf. It's nice to be able to suddenly decide to take someone a breakfast casserole and be able to just whip it up and head off to bed without the extra time and mesd.
Praying for Rachel and Todd! I Loved canning my ground sausage for sausage and gravy over biscuits and adding into spaghetti sauce. I love having the cooked meat ready on my shelf. Thank you for sharing!
As always, love your videos! I've not canned pork before but after watching your video I'm going to give it a try! Thanks Leisa for this collaboration and all the others contributing...giving us all the inspiration we need for self sufficiency, love it!
Meat chopper is definitely a game changer! Thanks so much for another great video. Meat is also my number one thing to can up. Gives my husband and I a better sense of food security while making meal preparation a breeze.
I made sausage gravy and biscuits for dinner one night last week. I LOVE the meat chopper, I have wanted one for years and finally broke down and bought one! I will definitely be canning sausage to have a quick meal!! Thank you again so much for putting this collab together.
Thank you Leisa for another great video. We love pepperoni & port sausage on our pizza. Having the sausage on the shelf makes it so much quicker to put together. Time to thaw & can more up!
I love the meat chopper my son hates it. Thank you for stepping in for Rachel. I’m sure she feels horrible that she’s not here, but family does come first!
What a great video. I love the idea of having pork sausage on my shelf. We lost all our food in two freezers during a 4 day outage so I will definitely be doing this! Thank you for all that I am learning during this collaboration.
JUST IN TIME!! I just bought 12# of sausage that was on sale!! HA! I love it! Now I can can it up and add it to the shelf for making spaghetti sauce, gravy and casseroles and other wonderful things. Thanks so much for walking us through the process. I do love your explanation about why ground meat is to be treated differently when processing it for canning; repetition reinforces good canning practices. Blessings to you and your family! Happy Canuary!
I’ve also trying to do a freezer clean out so canning the sausage is a great idea. Wonderful for chili and lasagna! Thanks so much for the video and for all your work on Canuary and for introducing us to Forjars!
I use ground sausage in so many recipes, love having it handy on the pantry shelf. Makes life so much easier! Our favorite sausage gravy is using the maple flavored sausage, yum! Thank you for the video. 🌹
Love your canning videos Leisa, I've learned so much. I enjoy having the convenience of shelf stable meat on my pantry shelves as well. I have been using Forjars lids for a year now and find them a great product.
Love making homemade sausage and canning it! Canning meat was my venture into canning three seasons ago. LOVE having canned meat on the shelf! Awesome video! Thank you for helping Todd and Rachel out!
Such a simple yet versitile use for meat... Oh the things that I can make with this option. Thank you Lisa for your vision for Canuary, just enjoying it all !!
Sorry to hear about Rachel. Hope everything is ok with them. Thank you so much for participating in this years Canuary. I’m super excited to get started canning some of the awesome recipes and food ideas from this years collaboration. I’m so glad I stumbled across this last year and able to add to my pantry shelves. Learned even more this year…again Thank You!! Hats off to Forjars❤❤
Every once in a while, I want sausage gravy and biscuits but I don't want to have to dig it out of the freezer and thaw it so I don't make it. This is genius.

I’m in Texas too. We never lost power but our daughter, who lives 7 miles from us, lost power for the week. Kudos to you for stocking your pantry.
Our electric here in NJ Keeps going out. Pretty scary times. But I think we will all get through if we stick together. 😊
I totally understand. I'm next door in south Louisiana & in a major hurricane area. We live under threat 6 months of the year. It's important we stay alert to what's in our freezers. One reason I absolutely love canning.

The real star of this show is the Meat Chopper! I was introduced to one about 5 years ago and it was life changing! Thanks for sharing!
Yes!!!
I think I'm the only one that wasn't impressed with the chopper 🤦♀️. I think I'm just too old to change my ways. 🤣
Thanks so much Leisa for stepping in for Rachel & Todd. That's what family does. Yes we are a canning family that celebrates Canuary!

Me too! LOL!🤣
Lol, my mouth started watering after hearing sausage gravy. 😂

Another great video! There are so many recipes you can make with ground beef. Having it ready to go off the shelf is wonderful!
I am so glad that you did this video. I have really shied away from canning pork, especially sausage because of the high fat content. But now that I see that you do it and recommend it, I will try it as well. Thankyou Leisa!

The idea of canning half a jar of ground pork and half of ground beef was wonderful! Will surely be trying that😍

You are so welcome!
Thank you, Leisa. I've only canned meat in recipes, never alone but will do so now. I just love Canuary. Thank you to For Jars, (BEST LIDS EVER!) for sponsoring, and all channels participating. Sending love and prayers to Rachel and Todd.
Lisa is so good at teaching the basis and making everyone comfortable canning meat. Thank you Lisa!
We have ice storms here in the midwest where I live. Having canned goods on my shelves makes me very happy to know i dont need to leave my warm house to go panic shopping. Love these vids Leisa!
Leisa, as you wrap up Canuary for '23, great job. You and the collab team have done another exceptional job. Engaging, detailed, lots of information and examples. From us newer canners, thanks again.
Thank you so much!
I so appreciate the way you explain why you shouldn't do certain things while canning. I like to know the why not, it helps me to understand the process so much better. Thank you!
You are seriously a canning goddess! I always learn from you and feel safe with your knowledge. Thanks for filling in for Rachel and Todd ❤ It feels like family to be watching all these Canuary and For Jars videos!
You are definitely by far, one of the best preppers to really explain the ins and outs of canning. I absolutely love your channel. I only just discovered you a couple weeks ago, been trying to catch up on videos in between prepping, shopping, stacking and preserving. Until recently the only thing I ever canned was vegetables from the garden in summer and fall, then the canner would be put away until next harvest. We'll not anymore, I'm now canning meats, and the canner is being used quite frequently when I find a deal in the meat department. Thank you for being real and teaching us more.
We are a busy family of 6 and learning to safely can chicken and ground beef has been a dinner time saver! We can hit up the sales and have it at the ready. For some reason I'm still keeping my sausage in the freezer through - why haven't I done this yet?! Thanks for the inspiration on this and all the Canuary episodes!!
I’m starting to think you’re reading my mind. I’m planning on canning ground beef and taco meat for the first time. Sadly I don’t have any sausages. Looking for the perfect recipe to make my own sausages. Thank you !!!
I hope all is well with Rachel. I think she’s coming back home on the weekend. 🤞And I want to thank Rachel for introducing me to canuary and your channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you Leisa for organizing the January/Canuary collabs. Lots of great canning videos throughout the six years. The meat chopping is a fabulous tool that can even mash potatoes. ForJars lids are amazing! ~ Kate
Thank you so much for putting together this collaboration. This is my first year and I have enjoyed watching everyone. I have learned a lot also. I’m going to start canning again this year after being away for 20 years. I lived in the mountains and couldn’t raise a garden without a greenhouse but have moved so I will get back at it. Sausage is a great idea. Thanks again!
This has been an awesome collaboration Leisa. I love ingredient canning, I call it my fast food for quick meals. I have a pampered chef meat chopper that has been a total game changer for browning ground meat. Thank you for giving us the approved method for all canning. 💕
I just scored $1, 1 pound rolls of Bob Evans sausage recently at our local grocery store, and man oh man, you know I scooped them up by the handful! I ended up with 73 rolls, 73 pounds of sausage in the house. I was tickled pink. Just finished up yesterday, getting it all processed and on the shelf. You did a great job explaining, Leisa! Thanks for that! :) I keep trying to get the word out that I am not a nut for canning my meats, it is so convenient for us, and my freezers are no longer over flowing, which is a great thing going into the new year.
Yes, Yes. Another great option for breakfast. Thanks for all the support for us Canuary newbies and returnees. We are a biscuits and gravy home, this will make it easier to choose any day of the week instead of a weekend! Love the videos. I already have put up 102 jars this month and need to order more forjar lids already.👍
❤❤❤THANK YOU FOR PUTTING CANUARY 2023 together! This was my first trip through this wonderful program. Again thank you for all your hard work for putting this program together and ForJars for sponsoring! Looking forward to watching more of these presenters in the future…. I learned a great deal from all of them! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK! ❤❤❤
Thank you Leisa for putting together such a wonderful canning collab! I'm enjoying collecting new ideas and recipes from folks I'm already familiar with, as well as new folks I wouldn't otherwise see! Bravo, my Dear!
This collaboration has been awesome. Thank you for hosting it and thank you For Jars for sponsoring it.
Sausage gravy in a hurry when you have unexpected visitors....LOVE IT!!! Thank you again!
We lost our fridges & freezers after Hurricane Ian and didn’t get power back for 11 days. LOVING learning about making shelf stable foods. Another Canuary item I’m excited to try!
Thank you Leisa & For Jars!
Thank you for having this wonderful canning collab! I’ve canned the beans that are to help remove the gas factor, excited to see how that turned out! I’ve learned so much this month, my first time watching Canurary! I have sausage in the freezer, love how you presented this video. I’ll be trying this one out asap. You are very much appreciated 🙏😊!
Thank you Leisa, for always giving us the approved methods. I appreciate your care and love for your community ❤️.
I’ve never canned sausage Belford. I have done ground beef and making sloppy joe is so much easier with it on my shelf. I’m definitely canning this for my biscuits and gravy. I don’t know why I never thought of this so thank you so much for sharing. And thank you Leisa for this collab and thank you For Jar lids. I’m loving Canuary! I don’t know what I’m going to do when there is not a daily Canuary video to watch ❤️
Sounds great!
We do big breakfasts on the weekend. This would be so good for “mash”, eggs, potatoes, cheese whatever’s in the fridge.
We love our chopper tool. Last year I gave everyone on our list one of them and they were all like, “Eh.” I told them to just use it, then talk to me. Now all of them love it so much that they cannot live without them. Haha. Thanks for the great tutorial on this-another good one to put on my to try list (once I get a pressure canner that is).
I love ingredient canning too because it just makes meal planning so much easier. It also makes canning projects a little less intense. Thanks for all your advice and creating this Collab!
Thank you Leisa! Great way to make our sausage shelf stable! Appreciate all you do for the canning world!
This is so awesome. I've always thought I am a proficient canner, but I've realized by watching all the videos this collaboration has put out that I didn't know you could do so much with meat. Thank you so much for putting this together. All of you have taught me something new. My hope is to eventually try all of these recipes that everyone has shared. God bless all of you.
BTW, I have ordered the ForJars lids. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Thank you for always doing safe and approved canning methods. Your ideas of how to use what you can is also wonderful. I’m looking forward to doing this as well as SO MANY other shared ideas this month. I also have the meat chopper and love it. It’s amazing how well it works.
Thank you for filling in Leisa! I have learned so much about canning and getting new ideas from Canuary! I am just starting out with pressure canning. Thanks to all for your collaboration!
Another recipe going into my Canning Bucket list!!.. And definitely Safety first!!. Especially when it comes to families Health!! Thanks Leisa for the collaboration and for offering an awesome end of the month random... along with Forjars!! that pretty amazing!! :)
I appreciate all the knowledge that you share with us! 🎉 I’m really enjoying all these Canuary videos and it’s giving me confidence to do more of my own canning!
Absolutely love the backslash behind the stove and the way it reflects off the cook top. I love having meat on my shelf to make last minute meals. As a busy family it has saved me several times.
Thanks for standing in for Rachel and Todd. I pray anything thing is ok with them. I love having ground beef or pork on the shelf. So much easier to get a meal on the table. Thank you!
As much as we use various sausages around this place...especially to many, many uses for ground sausages I HAVE been considering canning for myself.
How timely for you to share!! THANK YOU
Thank you for hosting Canuary year after year! I enjoy seeing what everyone else eats and how they prepare their food as well.
Leisa, thank you for explaining the why and how during your process, and not just the what. You are an excellent instructor! I'm excited to try ForJars lids; they look really nice and sturdy!
Thank you Leisa for "Suttons Daze"!! You have taught me 90% of all my canning!! I Love watching and learning from those whom have knowledge. You have been so helpful in all my success. Canuary & Forjars has kept me busy this month. I am trying to do every recipe I have been watching.
Truly a concern with loss of power for our freezer, so making sausage shelf stable will be a win for us! Thanks for all you've done and taught us Leisa!!
This looks great! There's so many possibilities for this. By the time I get all the Canuary things done and canned, it'll be time for Canuary 2024 - there are so many great things to can! Thank you for all these recipes and collaboration!
I've never canned sausage but I have canned ground beef. Yes the meat chopper is amazing. Thanks Leisa for the collaboration.
I have pork sausage in my freezer and I agree about not wanting to rely on the electric grid. I also like the convenience of using already cooked sausage. My kids like pizza on Friday night and this will make pizza night much easier and faster. Thank you for Canuary and teaching us the correct way to pressure can. Blessings!
Love this collaboration of canners showing us new to canning all the possibilities canning has to offer! Thank you!!
Thank you for explaining everything you do. I actually canned a few jars of ground sausage from processing one of our pigs. I ended up seasoning it with taco seasoning since my family loves taco night! I used my ForJar lids and they all sealed beautifully.
This is so wonderful. I can't believe how simple canning can be!
Thank you Leisa. I will be doing this with ground beef. I will be so glad to make my beef shelf stable and reduce my dependence on the grid. Thank you For Jars for sponsoring Canuary! Julia
Thanks for "Canuary'. I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. You are the one that I learned about for jars. This recipe looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
It never fails. I always learn some new tips from these videos. I didn't know vinegar tsrnished the rings faster. Thank you so much for this collaboration!
This looks amazing! I can´t wait to try this at my house. Sausage is on sale again this week. Thank you Leisa and Forjars for sponsoring Canuary 2023.
I've canned ground beef , venison , pork for BBQ, stew meat, meat for chili, tacos, and ground Italian sausage for pizza. Hadn't thought of canning breakfast sausage. This is going to be a nice addition to my proteins. I have 3 shoulders waiting to be made into sausage. This will be a good way to add some freezer space. Thanks for adding some ideas for those of us who are seasoned canners. Never to old to learn new ideas.
Love having sausage on the shelf. It's nice to be able to suddenly decide to take someone a breakfast casserole and be able to just whip it up and head off to bed without the extra time and mesd.
Praying for Rachel and Todd! I Loved canning my ground sausage for sausage and gravy over biscuits and adding into spaghetti sauce. I love having the cooked meat ready on my shelf. Thank you for sharing!
You have such a wonderful way of explaining the canning process and the reasons behind the safety measures! You inspire me to can protein. Thank you
As always, love your videos! I've not canned pork before but after watching your video I'm going to give it a try! Thanks Leisa for this collaboration and all the others contributing...giving us all the inspiration we need for self sufficiency, love it!
Thank you Leisa for stepping in for Rachel and Todd. I’ve canned ground beef never ground sausage. I’m going to have try canning ground sausage.
Meat chopper is definitely a game changer! Thanks so much for another great video. Meat is also my number one thing to can up. Gives my husband and I a better sense of food security while making meal preparation a breeze.
I made sausage gravy and biscuits for dinner one night last week. I LOVE the meat chopper, I have wanted one for years and finally broke down and bought one! I will definitely be canning sausage to have a quick meal!! Thank you again so much for putting this collab together.
As a brand new canner I’m definitely realizing the importance of shelf stable proteins!
Thank you Leisa for another great video. We love pepperoni & port sausage on our pizza. Having the sausage on the shelf makes it so much quicker to put together. Time to thaw & can more up!
This is amazing. I had a small chest freezer go out and it was a nightmare to get it all into my other refrigerators. Love Canuary!🥰
I love the meat chopper my son hates it. Thank you for stepping in for Rachel. I’m sure she feels horrible that she’s not here, but family does come first!
Great video tutorial, Leisa. Thank you so much for gathering such a wonderful group of channels for Canuary 2023. L-O-V-I-N-G Canuary!! 😁
What a great video. I love the idea of having pork sausage on my shelf. We lost all our food in two freezers during a 4 day outage so I will definitely be doing this! Thank you for all that I am learning during this collaboration.
JUST IN TIME!! I just bought 12# of sausage that was on sale!! HA! I love it! Now I can can it up and add it to the shelf for making spaghetti sauce, gravy and casseroles and other wonderful things. Thanks so much for walking us through the process. I do love your explanation about why ground meat is to be treated differently when processing it for canning; repetition reinforces good canning practices. Blessings to you and your family! Happy Canuary!
I’ve also trying to do a freezer clean out so canning the sausage is a great idea. Wonderful for chili and lasagna! Thanks so much for the video and for all your work on Canuary and for introducing us to Forjars!
I use ground sausage in so many recipes, love having it handy on the pantry shelf. Makes life so much easier! Our favorite sausage gravy is using the maple flavored sausage, yum! Thank you for the video. 🌹
Love your canning videos Leisa, I've learned so much. I enjoy having the convenience of shelf stable meat on my pantry shelves as well. I have been using Forjars lids for a year now and find them a great product.
Love making homemade sausage and canning it! Canning meat was my venture into canning three seasons ago. LOVE having canned meat on the shelf! Awesome video! Thank you for helping Todd and Rachel out!
In a new season of my life. Newly: moved, married and homesteading. Relearning to can, dehydrate and preserve.
Such a simple yet versitile use for meat...
Oh the things that I can make with this option.
Thank you Lisa for your vision for Canuary, just enjoying it all !!
Sorry to hear about Rachel. Hope everything is ok with them. Thank you so much for participating in this years Canuary. I’m super excited to get started canning some of the awesome recipes and food ideas from this years collaboration. I’m so glad I stumbled across this last year and able to add to my pantry shelves. Learned even more this year…again Thank You!! Hats off to Forjars❤❤
