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:
Pasta with Ground Beef and mushroom, IG photo (post time stamped for March 24, 2014)
Mung Beans with ground beef (post to be linked)
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.
