It's easy to learn how to can roast but does involve some steps that will take time. You will need some quart jars, wide mouth is fine, for large pieces of roast beef or other fatty, tasty meat.

This is the raw pack method for roast is used here for ease and speed, the hot pack method is also an option for canning meat. Don't worry about adding extra water or sauce with raw packing. The meat will provide it's own sauce when cooking.

Canning bacon is a great idea. The jars will stay good a long time and you can use the bacon and grease in all kind of recipes and sauces to really add richness and flavor. I put a little in my homemade spaghetti sauce to give it that extra comfort food accent.
