**Update 1/19** - I took one of our bricks and cooked it in the instant pot for soup last night. Turned out perfect. Thank you for the reccomendation!
I have several lbs of ground beef in my deep freeze I need to start turning into dinner.
We purchased a quarter cow from the butcher over the summer. He carefully parceled everything out, then we put it in our deep freeze (which remains the single greatest purchase of 2020 since it was made in February before all he!! broke loose and everyone started buying them up). We also have a food saver which really does work wonders. The other cuts of meat have been great, I have a roast in the crock pot today as it's snowing outside and my house smells wonderful and warm on a snowy day.
Because it's in the deep freeze everything is rock solid. Our solution has been to meal plan for the week on Sunday night, pull what we need from the big freezer. By the time I'm ready to cook it it's at least thawed enough to work with during the week.
The ground beef however has proven to be an issue. I'm picky about GB to begin with, adding to this, by the time it defrosts the blood in the meat has turned black along with the meat itself turning brown. I refuse to cook with it in this state and it's now become a thing between DH and I.
So, I need to be able to cook it from frozen which means crock pot and I need to be able to disguise the taste of the freezer which means my normal plain food loving family is going to revolt.
any ideas?
