..Another batch of chili. Some to eat, some to can. It's a small batch. as all I had was a 3# bottom round roast.
..For you purists, sorry but I'm going to add beans. Tomatoes, onions and peppers fresh from the garden.....[^]

    You must not eat much if that's going to feed you, and have enough to can left over![:0]

    Looks good BTW.
    I used to make chili from time to time with no beans, and cubed sirloin for the meat.

    I may have to try that with some steaks that's been in the freezer a bit....... I have some venison and sausage to put in also.

    I got the recipe here from gunbroker. It's done me well over the past few years. Never a bad batch (except for that one time I messed up with the salt......) hehe

    Pretty much the same reason I did mine,.......it will come out fine.
    As far as salt goes, add it a bit at a time.
    You can always add more, but you can't take it back out.[:D]

    I have done the same thing BTW Rob!

    ,,,,,that looks good enough to eat my monitor,,,,,,,does the Dutch Oven have a dome top or one with a lip to place coals on ????


    ..This one's domed, for indoor cooking. I cook the roast the day before in one of those oven bags (after browning on the grill). Marc, you're right, I'll probably just eat and share this batch. We canned a bunch last year and this.
    ..I use beans because they're a cheap, low fat filler and source of protein. Besides...I like dem beans.

    I do something else that many people consider weird with chili.

    I will fill a bowl, and top it with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, with a heaping spoon of sour cream on top.

    I let the cheese melt down, and stir everything up together before eating.[:p]

    I'm making some myself as soon as it cools off here.

    Was watching the Chew(Cooking show on ABC) Yesterday and they cooked up some eggs using Italian Sauce. 1st think that came to my Mind was wonder how it would taste with Chili.

    Seeing that Pan full really got my Mind going.

    I do that, plus, I add barbeque sauce. [:D]

    ..Nah, that's not weird at all. If you can put sour cream on tacos or burritos, why not chili? I like Ritz crackers also. The sour cream helps with the heat, if you make it too hot for some tastes. I go easy on the heat and add hot sauce at the table if needed.

    Looks great. I need to try roast beef. After cooking the roast how do you cut it into bite size pieces?
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Good answer Randy. I hate to spend an hour cutting a 3# roast into small pieces. I thought there might be an easier way.

    ..Uh yeah, a knife. I put the roast in the fridge overnight, then slice it and chunk it up in pieces from 1/4" to 3/4".
    ..Start out with a bunch of diced bacon in the Dutch oven and soften the veggies in the bacon fat. I use scissors to dice the bacon.

    Do you just put it in the jar while still hot to can it, or do you have to do anything else to it?

    How long can you expect it to stay good canned?

    Looks great by the way.

    ..Yes, hot chili in a warm or hot jar with hot lids. Leave about one inch of headspace. I'd have to check the Ball Book for pressure and time in the pressure canner. As long as they stay sealed, I don't think that two or three years would be a problem.
    ..I opened a jar of tomatoes today that was sealed and looked, smelled good, however there was a tiny speck of mold on the top. It was from 2009. If in doubt, throw it out. We've had pickled beets that were great after five years.

    Thanks, I've never done any canning aside from helping my grandparents can fruits, vegetables, and jams. I'd like to give it a shot, chili sounds like a good place to start [8D]

    .. By all means, get the Ball or Kerr canning book. It's worth its weight in gold, and will fill your head with all kinds of projects. It keeps you safe also. If it can be canned, it'll tell you how.
    ..We used to do everything from potatoes to yams, beans, applesauce and everthing else we grew.
    ..There's a great sense of satisfaction in eating summer veggies in the dead of wenter.
