We finally got a Costco here in Springfield Missouri, and that is exactly what I do. Buy it in bulk, separated into 1 pound bags, and I squish it down flat. It took me a long time to figure that trick out.😂

I usually marinate my ground beef and put them in a plastic container and eat at each meal a patty with rice and a veg. And it will last my family of three maybe three days. Or if I am in the mood & weekends, I will do other things with them like burritos nachos quesadillas spaghetti chili curry stir fry spring rolls summer rolls wontons Dumplings. It’s all flexible & saves time just by having the hardest part done.

Been doing this for years - do the same for soup, which is abit trickier - learned this from Rachel Ray - freeze everything like a pancake - thx for sharing 😊

Thank you so much, these tips are a life changer ‼️

You're so welcome!

Are those zip lock gallon freezer bags? I’m going to start doing this asap!

I save money on plastic bags by using hard plastic or glass freezer storage containers which go in the dishwasher afterwards

I want to do this to save on grocery bags too but how would you flatten the meat in a hard container? Doesnt it need to be flat and pretty much vacuum sealed?

Close the bag all the way except for a small gap. Push the bag underwater with the gap unnumbered. The water pressure will quickly press out the air. Not as good as a vacuum system, but better and faster than doing it by hand.

This way isn’t convenient but man it’s saved me a ton of money. I’ll wait until ground beef goes 50% off and I’ll get two pounds for like $7. I’ll divide it into 5 or 6 bags and it’ll last me over a week

Is what size ziplock bags

I mix onion soup mix,with my ground beef, hamburgers are yummy.

Yum!

What is the cost of the meat with the ziplock baggies price included? Are you still saving?

So how long can you freeze it for?

Good stuff

I use parchment paper and freezer bags so it doesn't turn browm.

Where do you buy your ground beef? Every time I cut into my ground beef, it’s already brown in the center.

I got it on sale from Vons this time around

❤🙏

could have just left the bag slightly open and use a rolling pin.

I divide and wrap mine in plastic wrap, then I can put a few pounds in each freezer bag and still be able to separate them.

Love it!

How much does this pack cost

You need to ask the butcher for a 10lb chub

And it saves space in your freezer cuz it stacks flat

I eat a pound in one sitting 😅 haha

I think that's the idea, you can take out one bag for each meal that you want to cook that has beef.

How is the way you pack this to freeze not obvious to everyone/ anyone to do? Scary this has to be told to ppl. Should be common sense.

do you still wash it before cooking or not?

If only Costco had 80% lean 20% fat. The 88% is too dry
