Seriously though, I do try to make enough for at least two meals. I also purchase the biggest package of 93/7 hamburger that I can at Walmart, bring it home, cook it, drain and cool it, then bag it in quart freezer bags. When I want to make tacos, spagetti, hamburger casserole, chili or anything else needing hamburger I just grab and bag and dump it in.
fully agree.. there are dishes (like homemade ravioli) that i only make 1-2 times a year. but when i do, i make enough to feed the world lol... i used to send family home with a bunch. some things freeze well.
and frozen precooked hamburger meat is a blessing to have when i completely forget to take something out :D
