I usually bought four pounds of hamburger at a time. I would divide it into single pounds, wrap each in tinfoil and freeze them. When we were making something with hamburger, I would need to remember to thaw out the burger and then either make patties or fry it for something like tacos or pizza.
One weekend, I had my sister and her husband over for pizza. I was frying the ground beef when they arrived. She asked why I didn't just fry up a few pounds at a time, and then freeze the frozen pounds in freezer bags.
Wow!
Sort of like the butter suggestion... I was stunned I had never thought of it.
Now, I take the four pounds and fry up three pounds - or even all of it. I split the fried hamburger up and freeze each individually. I have a large frying pan with deep sides, which allows me to do this all at one time. It makes it so easy at dinner time. If we decide to make tacos, I defrost the fried beef and quickly make tacos.
It really is a true time saver and makes throwing together that meal after a long day at work, much easier. Thanks sis!
