Recipe - Browned And Seasoned Freezer Mix

4 pound Ground beef
1 One half Large onion,chopped
3 Cloves garlic,minced
2 teaspoon Salt
Three fourths teaspoon Pepper

Cook and stir meat, onions and garlic in Dutch oven until meat is brown.
Drain off fat. Stir in seasonings. Spread meat mixture in 2 ungreased
baking pans, 13x9x2 inches. Freeze 1 hour. (This partial freezing prevents
the meat from freezing together solidly.) Crumble meat mixture into small
pieces; place in heavy plastic bag or freezer container. Seal securely and
label; freeze no longer than 3 months. Use freezer mix in the recipes that
call for it. NOTE: You can use this mix in any recipe for drained, seasoned
browned ground beef. Each 3 One half cups lightly packed frozen mix is the
equivalent of 1 pound ground beef, 1/3 cup chopped onion, 1 small clove
garlic, One half teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. (If mixture is not frozen,
allow 3 cups.)
