And here it is, the meat and potato's of those recipes. Each recipe is pretty simply prepared (ground beef and beef normally requires browning or thorough cooking before so that requires some more preparation) and all ingredients get tossed into the bag. Please don't forget, the smallest bag you should be using is a 1 gallon freezer bag. I STRONGLY recommend that you spend the extra dollar and get Hefty, Ziploc, or Glad freezer bags, these are the ONLY bags I find that prevent freezer burn, and don't burst under the weight.
