Freeze Browned Ground Beef
On a day when you have the time, crumble and brown several pounds of ground beef. Spread on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to freezer bags in 1/2- or 1-pound amounts (whatever your favorite recipes call for). On busy days, pull out a bag and add to chili, tacos or any recipe that uses browned ground beef. —Kathy S., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
