How to Meal Prep Ground Beef
Before I leave you with a final, tasty ground beef recipe, I wanted to share one quick tip that will help you save time meal prepping ground beef. This is something I like to do at the beginning of the week, so I have meat ready to go for our busiest nights.
You can cook several pounds of ground beef in the slow cooker to keep on hand for many of these ground beef meal ideas. This will save you from standing over the stove waiting for the beef to brown and mean a lot less time in the kitchen throughout the week.
