Directions

Cook ground beef and spices in Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 9 to 10 minutes, breaking into small chunks with back of spoon, until browned and completely cooked. Drain well, and return to pot. Add bell peppers and onions, simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add corn and heat though 1-2 minutes.

Spread mixture in a single layer on several foil or parchment paper-lined baking trays; freeze just until meat is firm, about 1 hour.

Loosen beef mixture into chunks; scoop meal-sized portions into freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Usage Tips

Use mixture from frozen, in recipes calling for browned ground beef, allowing slightly more time for heating than recipe calls for.

Frozen Assets

When making Big Batch Beef, drain the cooked ground beef well before freezing on the baking trays.
