Putting up hamburger.
Precooking a batch of hamburger is a good way to make dinner easy and it can be done when the kitchen is cool to save time and money in the kitchen.
Pictured is a meat loaf in a meat loaf pan that has holes in an inner pan to reduce the fat and not cook the meat sitting to re-absorb the fat.
Hamburger crumbles can be added to pasta sauce or you can make taco meat. Cook the hamburger until no pink remains. Drain in a colander with a pan to catch the fat. Remove the pan and pour boiling water through the meat in the colander. This can reduce fat by as much as 17 percent. Bag the meat in portion controlled batches.
Meat balls can be made in the oven . Use a portion scoop to make the meatballs consistent in size. Place on baking rack over a sheet pan. Fat will drain and you can bake a large batch saving energy and time. Portion control meatballs in a zip lock bag.
This cuts a lot of time out of meal prep at dinner time. Tacos can be from freezer to table in as little as 10 minutes.
