How To Meal Prep With Ground Beef?
First, do you know the difference between ground beef and ground chuck? Actually, there is a reason why I choose ground beef to make this list.
I love cooking with ground beef because it has a lot of protein, it pairs well with a lot of ingredients, it is not that expensive, and it can be used in recipes that you can freeze afterward.
Moreover, ground beef meal prepping is the best thing that you can teach yourself if you are someone who has a busy schedule or if you just do not like cooking every single day.
Instead of cooking with ground beef during the week, you can buy some of it and make a bunch of meals on the weekend that you will be able to take out of the freezer and put on your dining table at any time. Who says that you cannot have a gourmet meal every single day?!
How I like to meal prep is I make a list of meals I would want to cook for the following week, I go out and get all the groceries, and then I make the meals on the weekend and freeze them up so that I do not have to cook during the week. This is a very simple method of meal prepping with ground beef that I advise you to try out!
