📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Brown the Meat

In a large pot, brown the ground meat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Cook the Vegetables

Add carrots, peas, and green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 3

Add Rice & Pumpkin

Stir in cooked rice and pumpkin puree. Mix well.

Step 4

Add Eggs (Optional)

Stir in beaten eggs for extra protein. Cook until set.

Step 5

Add Liquid

Add water or broth to reach desired consistency. The mixture should be moist but not soupy.

Step 6

Cool & Can

Let mixture cool slightly. Pack into jars and pressure can.

🥫 Canning Instructions

1. Prepare jars – Sterilize pint jars and keep them warm.
2. Fill jars – Pack mixture into jars, leaving 1 inch headspace.
3. Add liquid – Add boiling broth or water to cover, still leaving 1 inch headspace.
4. Remove air bubbles – Run a clean knife around the inside of each jar.
5. Wipe rims – Clean the jar rims with a damp cloth.
6. Apply lids – Place lids and bands on jars. Tighten fingertip-tight.
7. Process – Pressure can pints at 10-11 PSI for 75 minutes (quarts for 90 minutes). Adjust for altitude.
8. Cool – Let pressure drop naturally. Cool 12-24 hours. Check seals.

⚠️ Important: Dog food must be pressure canned – never water bath canned. Meat and vegetables are low-acid foods requiring the high temperatures of a pressure canner.
