My New Canner and Canned Chili Meat

Yeah!  I used my new canner today for the first time.  I canned my chili meat.  I decided on using pint jars, since our chili meal will have added beans, rice, and cheese.  So I think 1 pint will provide for my family of 4 quite easily.

I used 4 lbs ground beef, 4 diced onion, 4 large cloves of diced garlic, 4 cans of diced tomatoes.  And I mixed up my own chili seasoning, using 1/3 cup cumin, 1/4 cup chili powder, 4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp cilantro.  It made 7 pints with a little left over, which my husband gladly taste tested for me.  He said it was delicious!

I'll consider that an afternoon well spent.

    One of the chili cans did not seal. So later that night, I cooked up some rice and served our chili, rice, and shredded cheddar cheese, and a scoop of sour cream.
    "DELICIOUS" was the verdict. Even my baby kept signing "more, more."
    The one pint fed 2 adults, one little boy, with one spoon-ful for the baby to mix in her rice. So perfect for our current needs!
