Calories 1109kcal
Ingredients
- 3 medium onions I like to use one each of yellow white, and purple onions
- 6 Pound(s) 90% lean ground beef or 93% lean ground turkey
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 each red yellow green bell-peppers
Instructions
- Chop onions and/or press all veggies
Brown hamburger meat, drain, and transfer to large bowl
In pan or pot that you browned the meat (before cleaning it! you want the slight grease coating for this step) place chopped and pressed veggies for just a few minutes until the onions have a clear appearance
Add back in the browned beef (or turkey), mix well. If you allow it to cook in the greased and heated pan for 2-3 minutes, it will cook those seasonings into the meat!
Divide into 3 portions. You now have three, two-pound packages of make-ahead ground beef ready for a recipe that calls for ground beef. (or, if you are a smaller family, divide into 6, 1-pound portions)
Flatten the air from your ziploc bags and stack in your freezer for a time-saver on your next meal. Be sure to write what it is and when you made it!
