I peeled and cut up vegetables to use in chili, taco filling and cooked ground beef.I did the carrots to cook for a future side dish.
The bell peppers and red onion are for salad or whatever.
I cooked 3 pounds of beef for taco filling and 3 pounds of seasoned cooked beef.
I cooked 3 pounds of beef for taco filling and 3 pounds of seasoned cooked beef. All went in the freezer for future meals.
I was way wrong in how many onions I would use.
there is only one jar of onions in the photo but I put 2 jars in the fridge.
They will keep a while but I need to plan some onion-heavy meals this month.
3 pounds of beef went into a big pot of chili along with a pound of cooked pintos.
Lots of dishes were washed after the cooking
This is ground beef from Kroger that I bought for $11.97 3 pound tube or about $4 a pound.

It smells and tastes right and put off very little water/fat when cooked.
I froze the rest of it plain
I’ve never done it this way but I sliced each tube into about 1/2 pound sections and 12 hamburger patties. I put the tray in the freezer and will bag them up when frozen.
3 of the grandchildren ate supper with us Friday. I made a batch of our favorite buns, mixing the dough in a bread machine and baking them in the oven.

this is still a popular craze I guess
This is recipe we mostly followed.
We made one recipe split between 2 bowls.
Their mother provided the glue. Other ingredients were shaving cream, baking soda, optional food coloring and a little borax mixed with water.Many recipes call for contact solution which is not an ingredient we have. Borax in water works great.
These boys are 5th and 7th graders. Not shown, but their 10th grade sister came and played with some slime too and she had as much fun as they did.

I do that with hamburger as well. Cut into 1/2lb. hunks or burgers and freeze. Our store didn't have it that cheap this week.
ReplyDeleteI bought some tubes of ground beef for the first time as they were very inexpensive in comparison. I will need to test them out very soon.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly got a great deal prepared.
God bless
I do that with hamburger also. Have you tried freezing onions? I buy bulk onions and dice and they freeze well to be used in recipes where you don't need fresh onions.
ReplyDeleteI have froze them several times. Sometimes I do sliced onions and peppers for fajitas. My problem is they usually really throw off onion smell in the freezer.
DeleteGood deal on the hamburger meat at Kroger. I’ve been checking prices more and more these days. Your chopped up vegetables and cooked meat look so nice lined up on your countertop.
ReplyDeleteDo I let the bun dough rise before shaping and baking?
ReplyDeleteYes- I make the dough in a machine on it;s dough cycle. It kneads it and lets it rise once. When the machine dough cycle is over, I take out dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Then I cut in circles, let rise again and bake.
DeleteYour meal planning sounds great! That slime looks fun!
