Having that ground meat, already cooked and ready to pull out of the freezer is a super supper saver. It’s a strategy that works with busy toddlers under foot, hungry teens hovering and all those in between. (that’s us!)
For about two years now I’ve been batch cooking with my slow cooker every shopping trip. My friend Little Sanctuary shared how she cooks ground meat in her crock pot. You don’t have to stand and stir or deal with splatters. You just have to break up the meat with a fork now and then as you pass the slow cooker.

Great idea! I’ve done it that way, too.
I need to get more organized again with our meals. I’m off kilter after our move.
Which reminds me to get out my crockpot for today! Thanks!
I’m assuming I just put the meat in? I think I’ll go do it now, I have some Italian sausage to brown up, and I could boil and cool some noodles.
Yes, Angie! That’s the beauty of it. Just dump it in and let it cook. All the details are in my post over at $5 Dinners.
