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.
