10 lbs. 90/10 Ground Beef
½ cup fine ground bread crumbs
3 T. minced garlic
dried parsley, rosemary, thyme, celery salt (to taste)
1 large onion (finely minced – I used a food processor)
8-9 eggs
canning salt and pepper
½ tsp. nutmeg

4 small cans of Cream of Mushroom soup (or create sauce using real foods following cream of x recipe!)
¾ cup of water for each can of soup used
salt, pepper, parsley, celery salt
2 T. beef base

For Meatballs: mix all ingredients and form into 1″ balls. You want a nice firm meatball so use just enough eggs to hold the meat together. These will be pressure canned for a long time so the meatballs need to be firm to help hold their shape. They will be tender after pressure canning. Bake on baking sheets at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until brown and done. For Sauce: Combine ingredients until mixture comes to a boil and keep at a low simmer. To Can: have your jars, lids and rings sterilized and ready to go. Keep your jars hot for filling. Get your pressure cooker warmed up and ready to go. Add meatballs to jar, ladle in sauce leaving 1″ head room, debubble your jars, wipe the rim with a clean paper towel dipped in hot water and vinegar, place your lid and ring on and then place in the pressure cooker to keep warm. Process quarts for 90 minutes at 10 pounds (please use correct poundage for your elevation and follow directions for your canner) or pints for 75 minutes.
