Description
Cook a batch of ground beef now, then package to use for quick meals later.

Ingredients

• 5 pounds lean ground beef
  
• 1 package (1.25 ounces) Old El Paso taco seasoning mix

Preparation
1. Sprinkle taco seasoning mix evenly over ground beef; pat lightly. Cut beef in half. Heat 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat about 2 minutes. Cook half of beef about 10 minutes, breaking up and stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Repeat with remaining beef.

2. Divide Seasoned Ground Beef into DixieWare containers for future meals. Use 3 cups to make Crescent-Topped Burger Bake, 2 cups to make Quick Italian Soup and 2 cups to make Tomato-Vegetable Stroganoff. Label containers and freeze up to 3 months.
