So I noticed that I haven't published in over a year. My new goal this year is to publish weekly. How can my type of cooking help others, if I never publish any recipes or information??
Wish me luck!
Hamburger is an inexpensive, flexible protein. One of my favorite cooking approaches is to purchase quantity of hamburger when it is on sale and cooking up a bunch of different meals and putting them in the freezer. Yes this may sound boring, but it sure does make my life easier on busy days!
After browning, 1 pound of hamburger is approximately 2 cups of cooked meat. So if you have more than 1 or 2 pounds of hamburger and brown it, just cool and separate it in to 2 cup batches and freeze or add seasonings, like taco seasoning, and then freeze.
You can also freeze the 2 cups of meat with only salt and pepper on it, so you have it available for a casserole or spaghetti sauce.
I like to make up 5 or more pounds of taco meat at a time and freeze it in 2 cup increments, then I can quickly defrost in the microwave and have a fast easy dinner!
One of our favorite, different uses for taco meat is taco potatoes - basically cook potatoes in the microwave, or oven, cut open and top with taco meat, cheese and salsa. Delicious, fast and lower calorie than tacos!
