How To Pressure Can Meatballs // Jeni Gough 

Glad I found this! We love Buffalo chicken meatballs and I can now have a reason to can something else 😊🎉

One of the reasons I like watching your channel is for the variety- thank you

Nice Video!! I love my canned meatballs, like you said so versatile, Swedish, Sgetti, Meatball Stew, Asian, etc. . . Sometimes when in a hurry, just open a can of Mushroom Soup, Canned Meatballs, boil some noodles and Wa-La, dinner in 10 minutes. Thanks for bringing us along

Thank you for sharing!!! Today is the day !! I’m canning chicken meatballs and beef meatballs!!!!

Thank you for having been a nurse. My mother is a retired nurse and now my daughter is in her first year working as an RN. God Bless

Yum! I’ve been wanting to do meatballs. They’re on the list! Meal starters are so handy and versatile. ❤️

Hi Jeni and Robert! These meatballs look delicious. I’ve got to do meatballs myself. Since it’s only me, I will do plain and Italian in pints. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!

Totally agree with you, canning vs freezer. I forget to pull the food out of the freezer and I find that I miss things in my freezer, they get buried under other things.

What a ideal I can take on camping trips..👍❤️

I have a large mini muffin pan that I use to make my meatballs. Put the meat mixture in the cups and bake for 15 minutes and makes perfect meatballs without the hassle of rolling them. When I take them out of the oven I put them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen I toss them in a 2 gallon zip lock bag and can grab what I need for whatever dish I’m making. I can just about everything that can be canned and never thought about canning my meatballs. Definitely something to add to my list. Thank you!

I love those lids too. Every jar sealed perfect.

I am soooo glad you posted this recipe!! I canned some last year...using just a small amount of instant potato flakes. I did use fresh onions & sometimes they fell apart...but since I only used them in spaghetti sauce, was ok. lol . They were good..but could have been better. I like your list of ingredients..sounds like the flavor I like. Now eager to can some of these!

Another knock out video! My favorite memory making meatballs with my granny was forming the meatballs.

I was wondering how your doing always happy to see you

Leptons dry onion soup mix works well in meatballs.

This morning I opened a can of these meatballs, made a gravy from the broth, added green beans I’d canned and baked a potato. The texture of the meatballs is normal, and they are delicious! These will make super quick meals! Thanks so much and these meatballs will be a staple in my pantry!

I found that little pig sausages fit perfectly in a pint jar. I can get 10 to a jar. I then fill with V8 which I have added a bit of Siracha to and then process. I have also done this with about 15 Costco rotisserie chickens. Buy 3 or 4 chickens, strip the meat off, throw 2 of the carcasses into a crock pot and make stock. then add and layer garlic cloves and chicken, then a sprig of fresh Rosemary down each side of the jar. Top with stock and process.

Gotta try this...Thanks Jeni. I love the way you provide printable recipes! ❤

Thanks Jeni just found your recipe and took meat out to make nest balls , love your channel keep up the good work. Hey I am a RN also 27 years getting ready to retire need to have time for good preparation and family preparation for future times soon to come!!! I am so excited to make and can these meat balls I hate the frozen ones, Oh I live in AZ now what a small world!! Take care💕

I too am a Retired Nurse...yes we do get dry hands. God bless you for your great videos and I love that I finally learned how to pressure can Foods. I’ve got an All American canner and I use Vaseline it does work the best. God bless 💫❤️🇺🇸

What a great idea. I just Canuary, so fun to watch everyone"s ideas

Interesting. Ive only made traditional Italian meatballs where you need to add egg, milk soaked bread, seasoning. I didn’t think it would hold together without the egg and bread to bind the meat.

ThAnkyou please make more videos 😃

My grandma made a batch of cookies mixing with her hands and another batch with a spoon, and the ones she made mixing with her hands we more tender and actually had better flavor!

When I can meatballs, I mix with marinara sauce and makes delicious meat ball subs.

Good to know about the NEW Pur lids! I will try them. The older white gasket ones didn’t work so well for me. Only about 75% success rate 😏

These look delicious 😋 Thank you for the printable recipe card. Would love to try this one!

Made these yesterday. Right out of the oven before canning they were delicious.. The broth was delicious. Had a jar of them for dinner tonight. Was a no go for my family. For us it reminded us why we don't like canned ground beef. The texture for us was the same as canned ground beef. I love your channel and canning recipes but for me this one didn't work.😒 Look forward to your new recipes (non ground beef)❤

Thank you Jeni! I used the rest of my Easter Ham making your recipe Ham and Bean soup!!

Thank you !

Jars, water for broth, and the canner are heating. Meatballs today, meatballs forever, the Jeni way!

Thank you for the meatballs recipe! This one is up next on my list, and a meal starter too, 👏👏👏

On my list for sure. Agree it can be very versatile. Blessings

I need to do this a quick meal In minutes!! I love it too !! Want to can beef , chicken and turkey meatballs!!! This weekend canning plans !!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Excellent! Can't wait to try making these.

Thank you for the recipe. Sounds delicious. Will have to try.

I think I use Italian sausage with the ground beef for more flavor and use them in my sauce !!!

I'm going to try this recipe!!!! 😍 Thanks for sharing Jeni!!! ☺️

What a great idea! I can't wait to try making them! Thank you for sharing!

Love that dish towel with the beehive on it very cool video

The meatballs turned out so well! They look great :-)

Thank you so much for this recipe! I'm in the process of cleaning out my freezer and this is the next thing I'll be canning!

Se ven deliciosas. Gracias, Jeni. 😊

I can’t wait to can these! Thanks!❤

Yummy

Thank you for making your video❤

I loved this recipe it is beautiful in the jars and tasty wonderful I added tomato powder to my mix! I want to try a Mexican style cilantro. Tomato, onion, garlic, powder.

I made these meatballs today, and they are still in the pressure canner. Thank you for so thoroughly explaining everything from the beginning to the end.

!!!! YES!!! PLEASE do ITALIAN meatballs, please!!!💖

Thank you for your video. I made my first hot sauce this year with my peppers. I used habanero because my husband likes it super hot. Thanks For Jars for sponsoring this collab. 💖

This sounds so good ! Gonna try it because I love meatballs and frozen ones get so dried out.

I can't stop canning meat but I took a break this week and canned your charro bean recipe. They turned out great! Love to watch your canning videos/recipes. Asian style chicken is next recipe I'll can this coming week. Meatballs will be on the list to can in 2 weeks and I'll be adding potatoes because I love them.

They look delicious 😋

I would really love to see a taste test after this. I would LOVE to put up meatballs like this but am concerned about texture later. Hopefully you can let us know! Thank you!!

I really liked this video.I have watched many meat videos and this is the first meatball one that starts from scratch.i am am oldie but new to canning so this was very informative for me. Thank you for posting it..God Bless.

Can't wait to try these. Thanks

Made your meatballs today. Hubby loved them. Thanks for sharing.

I loved the video and printed the recipe. Thank you so much!

All the dried vegetables will replace the breed crumps.that is not allowed to be canned Great testing. Love this recipe.

Love it ❤👍

Theses look amazing and will be canning plain and the Italian ones you were mentioning..

Loved it....I will be making it this week... I really enjoy your channel...

My daughter loves meatballs. I have to try canning some. I hope she likes them that way.

Wow..I thought they would fall apart...but now I must try!

I just did a bunch of meatballs a week or so ago. Mixed plain ground pork with my beef and did some Italian style and some plain ones. Have thought about canning some but waiting to see exactly what pantry space vs freezer space I need.

Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing

I made and canned these meatballs. The meatballs taste great but have not tried them after canning. I hope to do so soon. Thanks for the recipes.

OMG Jeni, I am making my second batch this weekend. My husband ❤loves❤ these meatballs. We but then in spaghetti, have them over rice or potatoes with some gravy and make meatball sandwiches. They are so good

Really enjoying this video we have this in pressure canner now!

Thanks!! This sounds like it will be so tasty!!

Gonna do these and I think I'll make some of them with fennel for my marinara sauce!

Meatballs looked delicious. I always make a batch and freeze them. But my freezers are packed. Thanks for the info. Now I will can my next batch. I am a nurse: have worked for 40 years. 2 1/2 more and then hopefully retirement. Yea!

My friend cans dried beans when she doesn't have a full canner. Just put 2/3 cup of dried beans in a pint or 1 1/3 cup in a quart jar fill with water or broth and salt if you wish then can with the meat. Be sure to check out and rinse the beans before canning. It's an easy way to can your dried beans.🤗

Those look delicious! I have canned some in plain broth and had to flavor it later. Never thought of adding the flavors before canning. DUH!! I would have canned up the extra broth for the next time.

❤️

I really need to restock beef on my shelves! I’m not crazy about the ground beef either way (texture), but these meatballs would be AMAZING! 🤗. Thank you

Thank you Jen I will be using this video as reference to making my meatballs.

I really need to can some of these meatballs. Tomorrow I am canning your Ham and Bean soup, can't wait 😁.

Good evening! I use Vaseline on my All American Canner too. My husband loves meat balls.

awe

Everything looks fabulous; with my severe allergy to seafood I could never eat this recipe because Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it. Will try this concept with my regular mix. Thanks!

I will be canning up these meatballs tomorrow morning since ground beef was on sale this week! So anxious to see how these turn out since I don’t really like the texture of my canned ground beef. Thanks a bunch for this recipe!

I made meatballs, but family said they are dry😭 maybe cooked up long🤷‍♀️... Not sure, but gonna try again.

I love all of your recipes! Finally getting back to watching vids since my husband passed away this year. I do have a couple of questions. Have you canned meatballs with marinara? If so, did you like them? Also, can you use commercially canned marinara sauce? Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes!

I have my first load in the canner now. I had to sneak a taste of one first..OMG!! These are awesome! This is the exact flavor combo I have been wanting..and I am also gonna use it when making salisbury steaks. Can`t thank ya enough & looking forward to your Italian meatballs. Note to self..buy some more ground beef! LOL

I do add mushroom powder to my meatballs before canning.

My boyfriend love the canned meatballs so much, he just nukes them in the jar in the microwave and eats them right from the jar. I can up half pints and pints, and I share with him. He's definitely not a cook. 😃

Thank you! I would never have thought of this. I also want to learn about your canning pad.

You could mix your meats too. I put ground turkey, beef and pork in my meatloaf and I think that would make great meatballs too.

Did you're poor meatballs roll off you're table and onto the floor? LOL you know the song. LOL

I have some chicken meatballs in the freezer. This is perfect

I'm not sure if this has been asked anywhere, but I LOVE the pots you cook with. What are they? They're just cool.

Can I use a combo of ground beef and ground pork? I have extra ground pork in the freezer that I’d like to use up. Thanks for this video! It’s very helpful.❤

Look very taste...you beef broth flavoring. Is how I do au-jus dip ...hehe 🤗

Help needed - question below... I just thought of meatballs last night when I went to get chorizo out of the freezer to thaw for today's soup (9 qts made, 7 canned) & I put my hand on meatballs first. I needed this video! Question: you said you had your jars in hot soapy water with vinegar.... I didn't think you could add vinegar to dish soap but I need to know how you did. Hubby scored appx 150 at jars for me, used. Some are fairly easy to wash, some I'm having a hard time with white or even brown residue, some are seriously scary to think of cleaning by hand. I don't have a dw, I AM the dw. I hate the smell of vinegar but am willing to use it to clean the jars if it works well. I need help please! These jars belonged to a lady who passed & her nephew sold them. They were stored in a place not clean without being very clean. I didn't see the place but I can only imagine by looking at these jars. There's even glass mayo jars (can I use them?). I'll appreciate any help you can give me!! I just started canning two days ago & ran my 3rd canner load ever today. Watching you & others has been my training, lol. Thanks & Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

I come back over and over to learn more about canning! I was looking on the back of the KnorrBeef Bouillon and it has corn starch, is that ok?

Looks really tasty.

Hi Jeni, those meatballs look great! thank you for sharing them with us! I have a question about chicken, (I'm new to canning meats) I have canned some chicken drumb sticks, but not sure how to use them with the bone in....? Do you heat them in a pan or saucepan? TIA.

I didn't know you were a nurse....I quit nursing last yr after a rough labor day weekend...covid broke me after 38 yrs of nursing....the idea of returning to it literally makes my heart race...I worked last 8 yrs in the ED....just way to much between covid..rude people...and all the PPD and just trying to function

I canned Italian beef not long ago and had siphoning too. Ugh! If I have that problem, it's only with meats. I'm not sure why. I try so hard to avoid it 😒 I'll be trying this because I love meatballs but hate having to make them all the time! Wondering if you have ever canned any of the sweet and sour or Thai style condiments from Ball? I've only ever done the plum sauce and a Thai chili sauce. Both are great but I have a goal to venture into more of my own condiments this year and less store bought. I'd love to see if you make any of these 😄
