spaghetti fest

I've blogged before about our huge chicken bakes, where we bbq a bunch of chicken and then freeze each in baggies for later. Chris had the idea of doing something similar for spaghetti. Today we bought ground beef (or "chubs" as the package says) from Costco. For this lean of beef, we found Costco to be the cheapest. We cooked 5 pounds of it, bagged each, and froze. This way, we can simply pop one out, add sauce, and have spaghetti. We usually have it once a week anyway, so this will make things a lot easier. :)



p.s. Tonight we finished up a very good movie I would recommend: The Ghost Writer

You're just FULL of organization tips! Good idea.

You can also use it in casseroles that call for pre-cooked beef like taco casserole and such. I also have added the pasta sauce directly to the bags of beef and froze the entire thing. You can also use frozen beef for a bad personal favorite home made nachos!
