I discovered that I could put the onions and peppers in the blender and the patties would hold together a bit better. Then I threw in a handful of carrots and peas and blended them up. Not a fan of oatmeal, so, I used saltines instead. Mixed a pack of meatloaf seasonin in with the eggs and then mixed it all up.

I have ...Hi Mamma Bear<br />Great ideas on your website.<br />I have tried beef broth instead of tomato sauce.<br />I also would like your comment on something else please.<br />I heard from an older lady that one way they used to store sausage and bacon was to partially cook and then pour lard over the product to cover each piece in the jars as she loaded them in.<br />I know there could be some issues here and everything must be sterile.<br />I have tried this recipe and it seems to work fine. I loaded sausage into a canning jar and followed instructions carefully. It has been over 7 months and when cooked it was delicious.

Sometimes spices and flavors intensifies when canning and stored but if yours is homemade you already know what's in it. I grilled some hamburger patties a couple of years ago and canned those in barbecue sauce that was not homemade. I don't know if it was the charcoal or the sauce I used but they were terrible! When I am in doubt I just make a jar or two just to see if I need to adjust anything. I know that is a lot of work but if you are going to can a lot of something new it is best to see how it will work rather than have a shelf full of stuff your family won't eat. I actually have a goof shelf I labeled "dog food" LOL...thank goodness there is only a few jars on it :)Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-85139846379720333732013-11-20T08:01:30.823-06:002013-11-20T08:01:30.823-06:00Have to try this with turkey, we don't eat bee...Have to try this with turkey, we don't eat beef..

We cheated, sandwiches made with cheese and ketchup...Anyway, My patties fit 6 in a jar, I used a combination of tomato juice, pasta sauce and tomato paste, with water added to use up some older stuff in the cabinet. I've got one canner load processing, and a second canner load baking in the oven. BTW, I went 325 degrees for 30 minutes and my patties are well done(though a bit thinner than yours, judging by the fact that I'm getting one more in the jar.)

That doesn't necessarily make sense, but when it comes to food safety, I am not gonna take any chances! There are some exceptions, but those are probably ones which has specifically been tested in half pints. Usually the tests are only done with pints and quarts.<br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-18192844132385702242012-09-05T10:36:57.995-05:002012-09-05T10:36:57.995-05:00Hi Kathy...the only think I can think of is maybe ...Hi Kathy...the only think I can think of is maybe the acid in the tomatoes are really strong???

Quarts are 90 minutes, pints are 75 minutes so I don't know if you could safely take 15 minutes from the pints. It is more safe to over process than not. It doesn't "cook" the meat any more it just holds the temperature inside the jars for the amount of time to destroy any nasty bacteria from my understanding.Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-79173880082932488522012-08-05T11:02:57.252-05:002012-08-05T11:02:57.252-05:00Sorry to be so very late in replying.

(Although we usually wait until winter time to can meats and stuff that is not particularly seasonal.)<br /><br />The overflow from your jars was most likely from changes in internal pressure in your canner. I had the same trouble when trying to regulate my canner on an electric stove. Have fewer cases of it now, using the rocker regulator and an old All-American canner instead of the new Presto. And because I make sure to make all burner changes very slowly. AND make sure that I get the temp regulated a bit better BEFORE putting the rocker/regulater in place.<br /><br />Another possibility is releasing steam from the canner too quickly. It's probably not really the steam but lowering the temp too quickly, but you catch my drift. ;) (Yeah, I've had to learn THAT lesson the hard way, too.)<br /><br />Thanks so much for this recipe. It looks and sounds just wonderful. The small amount of egg and oatmeal really should not be an issue, especially with the removal of so much of the fat.<br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-5797119859400042002012-07-05T14:14:39.964-05:002012-07-05T14:14:39.964-05:00Am single oldguy..can I use the 8 oz.jars that I ...Am single oldguy..can I use the 8 oz.jars that I use for smaller portions when I can squash,tomatoes etc for sinle serving..if so.How long would processiong time be for 8 oz jars??
