After you spend a couple of afternoons canning, suddenly cooking ten pounds of burger on the stove doesn't seem to take as long as it used to *laugh*. I'm just waiting for it to cool and then I'll separate it into 1 lb packages and stick them in the freezer. Yay for easy dinners!Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-13904967296949607442017-06-10T14:38:32.909-08:002017-06-10T14:38:32.909-08:00Wow.

Then I can put it into ziplock bags in the freezer and take out smaller amounts to use at a time. Most grocery stores will do this free of charge for you. Hope this idea helps.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129856573164636243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-34194774889270394172017-06-10T04:06:13.549-08:002017-06-10T04:06:13.549-08:00You can also cook the burger in the crockpot if yo...You can also cook the burger in the crockpot if you don't want to stand and cook 10lbs on th stove!

That way I can make it into tacos, sloppy joes, risolles or whatever. Seems like a good idea.
