How to Freeze Cooked Ground Beef Recipes
Simply add the ground beef recipe to the saute pan and cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula along the way, until there is no longer any pink showing. Drain any excess grease. Place the cooled meat in a freezer bag or container and seal.
How to Freeze Uncooked Ground Beef Recipes
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Then, complete Steps 2 and 3. Flash freeze uncooked meatballs by placing on the sheet pan (or in a baking dish) in the freezer for about an hour or so. Once frozen, dump meatballs in a gallon-sized freezer bag, seal, and place in freezer.
