Meal Prep Tip

I recommend preparing things you can in advance to be used for a meal later unless you love cooking everyday. While you are in the kitchen cooking dinner for that night's meal you can also cook ground beef or chicken to use for a meal the following night. You could also cook and freeze the meat for an easy pull out and thraw to make meals. I'd much rather cook fresh ground beef then a frozen package of it taken out of the freezer. A ziplock bag of cooked ground beef will thraw quicker. I buy large packages of chicken breast since I cook a lot of casseroles. It's cooks quickly in a skillet. I buy fresh chicken breast for grilling outdoors since it's more juicy and flavorful. If you have not tried the frozen chicken you should and you will be surprised how it can save you some time in the kitchen.

I'll use the ground beef for meals such as taco soup, chilli, mexican casseroles and burritos. I'll use the chicken to make casseroles, fajitas, quesadillas, white chilli, enchiladas, chicken and dumplings. Those are are just a few of our favorite meals. There are lots of meals you can make with ground beef and chicken.

I hope you do some meal prep so you may enjoy more time with your family and less time in the kitchen.
