[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quart-size Ziploc freezer bags work fine. (The freezer bags are thicker than the basic sandwich bag.) You can form the beef into patties before freezing which will help it thaw faster when you need it. Just don't keep it in the freezer for more than 3-4 months because it will dry out and lose quality. (That ultra-lean beef is pretty dry, anyway.)[/quote]

Thanks, I'll look for freezer bags next time I'm at the store. Seems like quart size is bigger than needed, but Amazon has pint-sized which will be perfect! (I make meat sauce with the beef, so it won't feel/taste dry when eaten.) [/quote]

The other posters above have same advice that works

I also portion mine into quart zip locks, you can flatten them out while expelling air to make them stackable.

I do this with stuffing/dressing during holiday season. Just make stacks for the freezer. Take them out from time to time. 48 hours until you can put it into a bowl into the microwave.

Repeat for any pasta dish like lasagna macaroni and cheese, etc. [/quote]
