Instructions:
-
Prepare Mason Jars: Ensure mason jars, lids, and rings are clean and sterilized. If unsure, consult a preserving manual for proper instructions.
-
Brown Ground Beef: In a heavy saucepan, begin browning the ground beef over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until the meat is thoroughly browned.
-
Drain Excess Fat: Once the ground beef is cooked, drain off any excess fat from the pan.
-
Prepare Sloppy Joe Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and prepared mustard. Add in the remaining ingredients: salt, thyme, ketchup, chili sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
-
Incorporate Mixture: Add the prepared Sloppy Joe mixture into the cooked ground beef. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and heated.
-
Fill Jars: Carefully spoon the hot Sloppy Joe mixture into hot mason jars, leaving about a one-inch headspace at the top to allow for expansion during the canning process.
-
Remove Air Bubbles: Use a non-metallic spatula to remove any air bubbles trapped in the jars. Ensure the rims of the jars are clean from any food residue.
-
Secure Lids: Place lids on the jars, ensuring the sealing compound is positioned correctly against the glass. Screw the bands down evenly and firmly until they reach fingertip-tightness, providing just enough resistance.
-
Process in Pressure Canner: Process the filled jars in a pressure canner for 75 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Follow proper safety guidelines for operating your pressure canner.
Enjoy the rich and savory taste of homemade Sloppy Joes straight from your pressure canner. These delicious jars of goodness are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal any time of day!
