In a previous post, I showed you how to prepare chicken breasts and steak to make your life a little easier. I recently purchased a few pounds of 96% lean ground beef, so I thought you might want to see an easy way to prepare it for individual packaging.

Packages of 96% lean ground beef

Gather your packages of 96% lean ground beef along with snack size ziploc bags.

100 Grams of Lean Ground Beef

Weigh your ground beef and divide into 100 gram portions. Place each 100 gram portion into a snack size ziploc bag and set aside.

Flattened Lean Ground Beef Divided Into Snack Size Bags

Seal one side of your baggy and flatten ground beef in snack size bag, pushing the air out as you go. Once your ground beef has been flattened and the air removed, seal the remainder of the bag. I found this tip two years ago on the GreenLiteBites blog while I was on Weight Watchers. This is a very smart idea. The bags lay flat in the freezer, they defrost rather quickly, and they don’t take up much space. You can also stick them into a box or paper bag and cut out part of the side’s bottom so that you can pull out one package at a time… like a dispenser.
