Directions
- 1Add cooked and seasoned ground beef, fully cooked bacon bits, and sautéed onions to a pan, mix them together, and set aside.
- 2Sort out the three different types of beans for rocks or bad beans.
- 3Wash the beans until the water runs clear.
- 4Prepare the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients together.
- 5Start filling the jars by adding all of your uncooked, dry beans.
- 6Layer the beans with the meat mixture.
- 7Top off the layers with the prepared sauce, adding a quarter cup of sauce to each jar until all sauce is used.
- 8Once the sauce is used up, add chicken broth to each jar, leaving a 1-inch headspace.
- 9De-bubble the jars, ensuring the beans are fully covered by the sauce and broth to allow them to cook.
- 10For lug lid jars, ensure there's a gasket inside the lid and tighten it as tight as possible.
- 11For regular Mason jars, tighten to fingertip tight.
- 12Place five pint jars in a Nesco pressure canner and process them for 75 minutes.
- 13Alternatively, process some jars in a water bath for 3 hours.

Tips
- Prep everything in advance to easily fill jars.
- Ensure beans are fully covered by liquid in the jars during canning for proper cooking.
- When using lug lid jars, tighten them as tight as you can, not just fingertip tight.
- When using regular Mason jars, practice fingertip tight sealing.
- Pressure canning significantly reduces processing time compared to a water bath.
