Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs lean ground beef
  • 4 tbsp (2 packs) taco seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it begins to brown, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Season It Up: Add the taco seasoning, stirring well to coat all the meat.

  • Freeze meat in flat packs to save space in your cooler or camping fridge.
  • Make sure your freezer bags are labeled with contents and date for easy identification.
