BASIC HAMBURGER
One of the tricks we try is to take advantage of sales on ground beef. When we purchase a large quantity we use this recipe is to prepare for different meals, then freeze for use at a later date. Save money...eat good!
INGREDIENTS:
 | 3 LB lean ground beef |
| 1 1/2 LB onions, finely chopped |
| 1 Tbsp minced garlic (or more to taste) |
| 1 green bell pepper, seeded & finely chopped |
| 1 can (4 oz) chopped black olives, drained (optional) |
| 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
| 1 egg |
| Salt & pepper to taste |
DIRECTIONS:
For meat loaf & burgers: Mix all ingredients well then shape into either meat loaf or burger portions, wrap with freezer paper, mark with ingredient & date, freeze until ready to use.
For stews & other meals calling for cooked ground beef: Combine all ingredients mixing well & cook in a large skillet until meat is brown and onions are limp, about 20 minutes. Drain & cool. Separate into desired package sizes wrap & freeze.
SERVING TIPS: Try our SLOPPY JOE recipe using this idea. Great when you are preparing a one pot meal & need cooked ground beef.
