Hamburgers

4 cups of lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 Tbsp dried parsely
4 tsp salt
4 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp oregano

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp basil

1 1/2- 2 cups oatmeal
4 eggs
few drops of liquid smoke

Mix together all ingrediants throughly.
Be sure to wash your hands before and after because of handling raw meat.
Shape into pattys 1/3 -1/2 cup patties work nicely.

Seasonings are all optional depending on what flavor you prefer.
Our family really enjoyed this particular mix.
We grilled them for supper, but you can pan fry them on medium heat until cooked in the center.
It tooks us 5-7 minutes.  A few minutes on both sides until they turn grayish brown. I cook them just until  there is no more pink in the middle.

"Canning" Chicken Breast

All I did to "can" this was take boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks/pieces (not that small), stuffed them into jars, leaving at least 1 inch of head space (it will cook over if you make them too full and if the oven is too hot)

Added salt, pepper and dried onions - you season as you desire.  Put lids on and into the oven.

250 degrees for 8 hours

Turn off oven and let set for 8 hours.

Wal-lah!

20lbs of chicken gave me 20 pints!

2 jars ready to 'can'

My pantry shelf - love the idea of having this chicken in here!
