Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time35 mins
 4 lb (2 kg) Extra-Lean or Lean Ground Beef or Lean Ground Sirloin, Chuck or Round
 4 EACH onions and cloves garlic, minced
1

Cook ground beef 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, and return to pot. Add onion and garlic simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until vegetables are softened.

2

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

3

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

Cook’s Notes: You can simplify Big Batch Beef by using the food processor to mince the onions and garlic – just pulse quartered onions and peeled garlic cloves a few times to mince.
Excellent source of iron (4 mg, 28% DV), zinc (9 mg, 96% DV).
