Depends... If it's really really thick, it's not suitable for preservation in jars. But you can always can it and thicken it later. You could throw in raw meat chunks, beans, etc, then shread the meat and smash a few beans when you re-heat it.

What I make isn't super thick.
You can definitely can stew, just don't put any flour or other thickener in until you open it

I have another question for all you that can a lot! How do I go about canning some eggs???? Like pickled, dilled, sweet, bread and butter, garlic, sweet and sour, hot pickled eggs and such, I would more than welcome recipes and suggestions as to shelf life preference of taste and anything else you can suggest on the topic! Thanks so much!!! Lynn
Canning chili without beans is easier than canning chili with beans--just make up your usual recipe and process at the correct pressure for your altitude for 75 minutes (pints) or 90 minutes (quarts). If you add beans, leave it watery and undercook the beans--they'll expand and suck up the extra juice in the jar.Greybear23 said:Hi, I was just about to ask this question!!! How do I can Chili???
