One of my cooking tricks is to buy a large pack of ground beef and make various items out of it. I typically like to make taco meat, spaghetti sauce, and hamburgers from a pack of ground beef. Then I freeze them for later use. I love having dinner options in the freezer for nights I don't have time to cook.
Taco Meat:
This couldn't be any easier. I just brown beef, drain, add water and taco seasoning packet.
Spaghetti Sauce:
Brown beef with onion and mushroom. Drain then season with garlic salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Add a jar of spaghetti sauce or a can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. Let simmer for at least 45 minutes but the longer the better. Stir occasionally.
Hamburgers:
I hand mix ground beef, 1/2 grated zucchini, 1-2 raw eggs, garlic salt, and pepper. I then make patties and individually wrap in wax paper and finally foil.
I didn't take any pictures of tonight's meal but this morning I took out hamburger patties from the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge. This evening we BBQ'ed them and it was an easy meal.
