Pour over meatballs & bake 12-15 minutes longer.

 

I know about the milk but this uses evaporated milk ?

 

By the way this is very good to just make and eat too!

Not sure if you will be able to can this, but it sure does sound good!

I believe the meatballs are too dense to can safely, plus you have the milk. Milk is milk... evaporated or whole.

 

Now, if you'd make it without the milk and fry it up kind of like hamburger... more like a sauce to put over spaghetti or noodles, *that* should work.

Sorry,no, no eggs, dairy, or oatmeal are safe to add. Not even in a pressure canner. You would need to freeze that recipe.

 

This will tell you how to can ground meat in meatballs.
