I do make ahead cooked food and freeze for “future’ use.

One of the freezer meals I love to make ahead is ground beef. I usually buy a kilo or more and cook this with salt and pepper and just add other seasoning depending on what this will be made into.

Some make ahead freezer meal recipes are:

The kids also love a simple ground beef with mushroom or potatoes dish that they bring as packed lunch. No, there is not much “sebo” because I remove the oil from the beef itself after the first few minutes of cooking.

Procedure to cook ground round or ground beef:

  • Put the ground beef in a deep pan and add water.  Water will depend on how much ground beef you have.
  • Turn on your stove to cook the meat. When the meat has turned brown, turn off the stove.
  • Strain the cooked ground beef using a strainer. You can also use a cup or more of hot water to “rinse” the ground beef.

DO NOT THROW the beef broth. Put the  beef broth in a container and refrigerate. When the top part has hardened, remove that and use the remaining beef broth for a more flavorful dish. I don’t usually do this though because of the “sebo”.
