Feeling like Canning

So before work today, I separated out the ten pound tube of hamburger I purchased a few days ago.  I cooked up 5-6 pounds of it in prep for future taco nights.  I hope it tastes good!  I added a teaspoon of salt to each pint.  

Then while that was cooking on the stove, I pulled out a yellow cake mix and whipped that up.  greased up 6 clean pint jars and lids and filled them half way.

Wiped off the rims with wet paper towel before baking them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

As soon as they came out of the oven, I popped on the lids and sealed them up tight.  

4 out of the 5 sealed successfully!  That means one for eating by myself later when no one is looking. 

Then jarred up the drained cooked meat in pint jars, wiping the rims with vinegar to clean the grease off.  Pressure canned this for 75 minutes.  At 11:41, the little thingy has probably released, and I can open it and let them cool. 

So another 10 jars of stuff to find a place to tuck in the house.  Where am I going to put all this?

I don't know, but just to have some cake on hand for whenever I want a treat? yum...
