Drain. In 4 qt. slow cooker combine ground beef and remaining ingredients, mix well.Cover. cook on low setting 4 to 6 hours. I have looked in my blue ball book and can find no reason why this cannot be canned. Does anyone have any comments about this recipe? tia. Link to comment
Jules Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hey this looks good, I'd like to try this as well. I would want to double the batch and have some for dinner and can some for later. How long should this be processed? 15 pounds of pressure and about 90 minutes? Link to comment
Keiko Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I would look very carefully at the ingredients of the chili sauce you are using. Watch out for no-no ingredients (flour, cornstarch, dairy, etc.). Otherwise it looks good. Or maybe you could can it without the chili sauce (since that's already bottled). Then add it when you heat it up...that would help give it a "fresher" flavor - sometimes things taste kind of flat to me when they've been pressure canned. Link to comment
brendajo Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I doubled the recipe and added about a quart of water. It was to thick to can with out water or broth added.I now have 6 quarts in my canner happily jiggleing away. I will open one tonight for dinner, sure hope it tastes as good as it smells.

Jules Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 brendajo how many pounds of pressure did you can at?? I want to do this! Link to comment
brendajo Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 I did quarts at 10 lbs. pressure (on my weighted guage) for 90 minutes. I also checked my chili sauce ingredients there was no thickeners in it. I plan on canning more of this. My kids love it. Link to comment
Jules Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 This is great news, thankyou! I would like to try it this weekend. Link to comment
Jules Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have several quarts of sloppy joe filling jiggling away in my canner. I saved one quart for dinner tonight and the rest gets put away. I added cayenne pepper for a little zing. This recipe is great, thanks for posting it. Link to comment
