In fact, meatballs taste MUCH better when frozen, thawed and heated. The seasonings really sink into the meat and are delicious.

Also, for taco meat, do you add all the seasoning ahead of time so its litterally a reheat job? I really want to get into utilizing my freezer more but it scares me that I will freeze the wrong thing and the food will be bad :0) Great blog!

One of the things we did was brown some of the ground beef & then we froze it in one pound packages. Tacos & sloppy joes are now a 5 minute meal later on. You can find the whole story here.

I often will buy 10 lbs. of hamburger or ground turkey and make hamburger patties, sloppy joes and a meatloaf with it. I package my 1 lb. bags raw rather than pre-cooked. I can't imagine buying 80 lbs. at one time! Great idea though! That is awesome! I often will buy 10 lbs. of hamburger or ground turkey and make hamburger patties, sloppy joes and a meatloaf with it.

My problem is we don't have room for our chest freezer. Our chest freezer is at my Inlaws several miles away. So its a pain to stock. Wow! That is awesome!
