❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I add cheese to my canned meatloaf?
A: No. Adding cheese is not safe, as it increases density and can interfere with heat circulation.
Q: Can I can meatloaf with a tomato sauce topping?
A: It’s safer not to. If you want a tomato flavor, can plain ground meat with tomato juice as the liquid and add fresh breadcrumbs and egg when you’re ready to cook.
Q: What if I use a water bath canner?
A: A water bath canner is only for high-acid foods like fruits and pickles. It does not get hot enough to destroy botulism spores in low-acid foods
