DIRECTIONS
Cook Ground Beef in stockpot or Dutch oven, using medium-high heat for 9-10 minutes, breaking into small chunks with back of spoon until browned and completely cooked. Drain in colander. Return to pot and add onion and garlic; simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes until vegetables are soft.
Spread mixture out in a single layer onto several foil-lined baking trays; cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze just until meat is firm (about 1 hour). Loosen frozen beef into chunks and scoop into freezer bags or containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. Add frozen beef to recipes calling for browned ground beef – you may need to increase the recipe’s cooking time slightly.
Makes about 10 cups (2.5 L)
