📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
Form & Season Patties
Form your ground beef into burger patties. Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite burger seasoning.
Grill the Burgers
Grill the burgers to your desired doneness. They should be fully cooked but still juicy. The smoky flavor will carry through the canning process.
Cool & Prepare Jars
Let the grilled burgers cool slightly. Sterilize your canning jars and keep them warm.
Layer with Parchment
Place a round piece of parchment paper in the bottom of each jar. Stack grilled burgers in the jar with parchment paper between each patty.
Seal & Process
Wipe rims, apply lids, and place jars in the pressure canner. Process pints at 10-11 PSI for 75 minutes (adjust for altitude).
Cool & Store
Let pressure drop naturally. Remove jars and cool 12-24 hours. Check seals and label. Store in a cool, dark place.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Why do I need to use low-fat beef?
High-fat beef can turn mushy during pressure canning. Grass-fed beef with almost 0% fat holds its texture perfectly.
❓ Can I use regular ground beef?
If your beef has more fat, you may need to drain it well before canning, or the burgers may become mushy.
❓ Why use parchment paper?
It keeps the burgers from sticking together in the jar. It also helps them come out easily when you're ready to use them.
❓ Do I need to add liquid?
No! This is a "dry canning" method. The low-fat, grilled burgers don't need added liquid.
❓ How do I reheat canned burgers?
Heat in a skillet with a little broth, or microwave. They're already cooked, so you just need to warm them up.
❓ What makes them smell awesome?
The smoky flavor from grilling carries through the canning process – they smell amazing when opened!
❓ Can I season the burgers before canning?
Absolutely! Season them just like you would for fresh burgers.
❓ How many burgers fit in a jar?
It depends on the size of your patties and jars. Usually 3-5 patties per pint jar, more in quarts.
