Prepare Ahead Ground Beef With Garlic And Onions

I think this is a fantastic way to cut down on food preparation time and mess in the kitchen!
I don't know about you, but I hate cooking ground beef and then cleaning the pan.....
This way, you do that once and then have prepared, seasoned beef ready for a number of different meals.

Saute chopped onions and garlic in olive oil.
Add very lean ground beef and cook until brown.
Add some salt and pepper and any seasonings you might enjoy.

Package the cooked mixture in plastic containers and refrigerate or freeze for future use.

Ways to use this mixture:

Tacos or burritos
Pasta sauce
Omelets
Chili
Taco salad
