Browned and seasoned freezer mix

14 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 pounds Ground beef
1½ Large onion,chopped
3 Cloves garlic,minced
2 teaspoons Salt
¾ teaspoon Pepper

Directions

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 3½ cups lightly packed frozen mix is the equivalent of 1 pound ground beef, ⅓ cup chopped onion, 1 small clove garlic, ½ teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. (If mixture is not frozen, allow 3 cups.)
