Recipe Introduction


This is a great way to cook up 5 to 10 (or more) pounds of ground beef at a time, with no spatters to clean up. Later you can use it to make soup, Chili, Hamburger Stroganoff, Tacos, Shephard's Pie, Hamburger Helper, Burritos, —whatever you normally make with ground beef.




List of Ingredients






Recipe



Put the ground beef in a big stock pot. Cover with water. You can add seasonings if you'd like, using whatever you'd normally brown the beef with, such as green peppers, onion, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring now and then to break up the clumps. When it has lost its pink color, it's done.You don't need to watch it as carefully as you do when you're browning so I've never really timed it.

Put a large bowl in your sink with a collander over it and pour the beef into it, saving the "broth" for soup if you'd like. (Be wary of just dumping it down your sink as it is full of fat.) Refrigerate the broth overnight and then skim off the fat. Freeze the beef in 2-3 C portions (equivalent of about one # raw beef).
