Canning meat with chile

[kylesredapple]

Anybody ever can meat and put chile in it? I am an avid chile fan and I haven't tried it yet because I don't wanna ruin any meat but has anyone tried it before?

Not sure exactly what your asking but. I can chile with burger in it. I make the chile just like I would to eat it. I then put it in jars and can it in a pressure canner. Quarts are 10# for 90 minutes. Just like store bought only better.......

I wonder if I could do the same with a water bath?

Best way to handle chile is dry or frozen. We pickle alot of whole jalapenos, but green chili when canned gets too soggy for me. I can meat and add dry or frozen chile when I use it.

hey Badg ...and to the asker - even though this is an old topic I have to repsond

...I would only pressure can anything containing meat ...follow the directions for the size conatiner you are canning as applies to meat: 75 minutes for pints, 90 minutes for quarts ...take no chances with meat, the acid of the tomatoes is not going counter balance the other ingredients so don't take chances. Cook your recipe as you normally would ( in fact ...cook it all day if you want ...just like most home cooking, the longert it simmers, the better it will be. Fill your jars & follow the directions for your pressure canner. ...unless I read the original post wrong & you weren't asking about chili the 'soup' but chili the 'pepper' ...
