Hello all my beautiful reader friends! I hope today finds you surrounded by blessings!
We have been supper busy the last few weeks putting away peaches and lots veggies. I took a day to use some of those veggies to make sloppy joes to can. I thought maybe some of you would be interested in trying it yourself, so today, for your viewing and canning pleasure, I present today's recipe! 😁🥰
Canned Sloppy Joes
6 lbs. ground beef
1-2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1/2- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups finely chopped onions
1 cup finely chopped bell peppers
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cups tomato sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/8 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
2 - 3 teaspoons Better Than Beef Bouillon
Brown meat and drain. Cool onions, peppers, and garlic until it starts to soften. Add meat back to the pot. Add salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Mix well. When vegetables are soft, add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and bring to a boil for five minutes. Stir often to avoid burning. Ladle the mixture into hot jars leaving 1 once headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the jar rims with vinegar. Seal the jars with lids and rings. Process pints for 75 minutes at 10 lbs psi for a weighted canners or 11 lbs psi for guaged canners. Make adjustments according to your altitude.
You can use your favorite beef broth in place of the two cups of water and bouillon paste, if you would like.
