I have recently
discovered Wegmans. I am a little behind I realize but in all fairness, Wegmans
hasn't been in my area for long. The
problem with going to Wegmans is that you can't just make a grab and go
visit. You must plan to spend time there
to enjoy the experience and I always do.
The one thing I have found about Wegmans is that sometimes you need to buy in bulk if you want to get the really good deals. For example, they sell ground beef for $2.49 a pound. That is a great price but there is a catch. You need to buy it in large quantities. This morning I bought 7 pounds which is a lot more than I technically need but I bought it anyway.
When I got home I contemplated what to do with all that meat. Of course I could have just frozen all of it but I decided to prepare meals in advance. My schedule is gong to be really hectic the next few weeks so it will be great having a couple of meals I can just pop out of the freezer. So here is what I made. Chili-I always love making chili. In addition to the ground beef you can put in lots of veggies like carrots and sweet peppers and of course onions and my family actually likes it that way. I made a double batch so this week I will serve it and then I will freeze the second batch for sometime in the future.
Meatballs-They are always a great go to meal especially if someone in my family brings home an unexpected guest. Everyone like spaghetti and meatballs.
Hamburgers- They are so much better when you make them yourself rather than get the pre-formed ones. Don't you agree.
I have this great idea for a shepherd's pie but I won't be able to make it this week. I cooked the ground beef anyway and put it in the freezer. When I decide to make the pie half of the work is already done. Here is a 9-1-1. I am not using a recipe and I think you will find my dish a little different then the usual pie. I will not give away my secret yet. Let's just say I will be cutting the carbs.
So all my ground beef is accounted for and in the freezer. Of course ground beef is not the only thing I bought. You can't go to Wegmans and just buy one item. My cart was full.
