4 lb Ground beef
1 1/2 Large onion,chopped
3 Cloves garlic,minced
2 ts Salt
3/4 ts Pepper
Cook and stir meat, onions and garlic in Dutch oven
until meat is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in
seasonings. Spread meat mixture in 2 ungreased baking
pans, 13x9x2 inches. Freeze 1 hour. (This partial
freezing prevents the meat from freezing together
solidly.) Crumble meat mixture into small pieces;
place in heavy plastic bag or freezer container. Seal
securely and label; freeze no longer than 3 months.
Use freezer mix in the recipes that call for it. NOTE:
You can use this mix in any recipe for drained,
seasoned browned ground beef. Each 3 1/2 cups lightly
packed frozen mix is the equivalent of 1 pound ground
beef, 1/3 cup chopped onion, 1 small clove garlic, 1/2
teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. (If mixture is not
frozen, allow 3 cups.)
