Chile Con Carne (Canning) image

I personally have not canned this one yet, but expect to soon. I'm posting by request, this recipe is from the USDA Complete Guide To Home Canning & Preserving. Be sure to measure ingredients exactly, but extra salt (or less salt), pepper or chili powder will not adversely affect canning results. Prep time does not include soaking time for beans, cooking time does not include time to get up to pressure.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this chili was terrible. It was bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe was pretty good. It was flavorful and had a nice kick. I might make this again sometime.

This chili was good, but it wasn't great. I liked the flavor, but it was a little too spicy for my taste. I might make this recipe again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

This chili was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better chili before. I probably won't make this recipe again.

This chili was a disappointment. It was too watery and the flavor was just okay. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This chili was easy to make and tasted delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added a can of corn, which gave it a nice sweetness. My family loved it!

I'm not usually a fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of the ground beef, beans, and tomatoes was perfect, and the spices added just the right amount of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
