ingredients
-
Base
- 6 lbs ground beef (comes in this quantity at most wholesale clubs)

- 3 cups catsup
- 4 tablespoons mustard
- 6 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 6 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

- 3 cups frozen green beans
- 3 cups frozen corn
-
Top
- 7 -10 lbs potatoes, cooked and mashed according to preferred method, try crockpot recipe suggested in notes above
directions
- In large pot, brown beef with onions (I boil my beef, drain to reduce fat content, then add onions I've already sauteed).
- Mix remaining BASE ingredients in large bowl.
- Add beef and onions.
- At this point I placed 1/3 of meat mixture in a cassarole dish, added 1 cup of each frozen veggie and layered on 1/3 of mashed potatoes.
- Bake at 350F for an hour, or until heated through.
- While dinner is baking up, I pack up the cooled remaining meat mixture dividing meat mixture left into 2 labeled gallon ziplock bags.
- Divide remaining veggies into labled 2 qt freezer bags.
- Divide remaining mashed potatoes into 2 labeled gallon freezer bags.
- For convenience, I actually staple the bag of meat mixture, veggies and mashed potatoes together into 2 dinner groups to make it all easier to find in my freezer. Obviously, staple above the zip on the bag when stapling together. :-).
