My boyfriend brought home about 5 pounds of 73/27 ground beef. Well, for me, I am not a big fan because it is mostly grease and water when you cook it. If I do use it, I mix it with a 90/10 or so. Money has been tight so who knows if I can get some of that anytime soon. So what I did, cooked it in batches with a little salt and pepper just to season slightly. Cooked it until the pink was gone. Drained. Placed on paper towels, twice! And now just waiting for it to cool so I can place in freezer bags.
This idea would be even greater if I had a scale to weigh the meat with. But, I do the best with what I have! LOL!
Now, I will have ground beef already to go in whatever I decided I may need it for.
Beef pie
Tacos
My own version of Hamburger Helper
Ground beef stroganoff
Sloppy Joes
Pizza
Spaghetti
Chili
Stuffing for peppers
Lasagna
Loose meat sandwiches
The list goes on and on. Don't know if this will help anyone out there. If it does, AWESOME. Just let me know. Thanks!
Picture below:
After cooking, I placed on a paper towel lined sheet pan. Transferred to a paper towel lined bowl. Then, put about 3 packed cups, into quart size freezer bags.
