With hamburger frozen this way, it is ready to heat and season for a quick weekday meal. I often use it for tacos, spaghetti or shepherd's pie. Lots of easy options at my fingertips helps keep me out of a dinner rut.
Wouldn't Taco Tuesday be simple if you could just add spice, heat, and serve? I always have an Old El Paso kit in my pantry and some fried hamburger in the freezer.
Are you in a dinner rut? Do you have a way of (easily) adding some variety to the dinner table? I am now an Old El Paso Ambassador, so I will have some great Mexican food ideas for you soon. Stay tuned!

I have done this! Usually when I freeze the entire pkg of meat without separating it first. I just cook the entire pkg and freeze what I don't need. So handy to have it already cooked and ready to go! Fantastic post!
ReplyDeleteIt is handy, isn't it? My mom gave me the tip. :-)
DeleteMy mom always does that with chicken too. It certainly saves time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I always seem to need new dinner and lunch ideas. We do that with Chicken in the crockpot, why didn't I think to do it with hamburger on the stove? LOL
ReplyDeleteI was a nanny for a few summers and this was one of my jobs. I also got dinner started for the family so having these ready in the freezer was a God send at times. Great tip!
