Q: Can I use turkey or chicken?
A: Not recommended—low-fat poultry dries out and has higher botulism risk. Stick with beef or pork.
Q: Why pre-cook the meatloaf?
A: It reduces grease, improves texture, and ensures even heat penetration during canning.
Q: Can I add veggies like carrots or peas?
A: Avoid dense vegetables—they interfere with heat distribution. Onions are fine in small amounts.
Q: How long does it last?
A: 12–18 months for best quality. Always inspect before use.
Q: Is this USDA-approved?
A: Yes—this method follows National Center for Home Food Preservation guidelines.
