[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you must not have grown up in a big family OP. I grew up with 8 kids in my family. So, we always made big meals. It's hard to make any kind of a dish for 1. Example...what if I want lasagna? I don't want to make a  whole pan for one serving and then have to eat it several times after that. [b]What if I want a burger? I don't want to eat that again either.[/b]

I don't get why it would be hard for you to fathom why it's hard to cook for one? It's too much effort for one little serving if you don't like leftovers.[/quote]

I mean, you wouldn't have to cook ALL the beef. You can freeze it into burger-sized portions so that you don't have an oddly-sized lump of ground beef just hanging around. But I get not wanting to make a huge casserole -- I cannot stand pasta that's been frozen and reheated. Chili, soup, stew or whatever are usually OK.[/quote]

You still should use it reasonably soon.  Ground beef gets freezer burn fairly easily.  And unless you are doing something with a good masking sauce, you can taste the difference between frozen beef vs fresh beef.  I have no problem using old beef in a spaghetti sauce, but for meatballs/burgers/meatloaf?  Not as much.  You'll definitely taste the difference.[/quote]
