Freeze Ground Beef Flat

Another tip for easy burger "sliders". Buy ground meat in bulk and divide it into quart or gallon-size freezer bags. Lay the bags flat and either knead with your palms or use rolling pin to spread-out the meat 1/2 inch thick to fill each corner of the square bag. Seal and freeze. This takes up very little space in the freezer when the bags are frozen and stacked.

When ready to use for sliders, thaw, then use either a pizza slicer, sharp utility scissors, or sharp knife to cut right through the baggie (tic-tac-toe style!) to make as many or few square "sliders" that you need, according to the size rolls on hand. Meat is frozen quickly and thaws quickly using this method. Meat can be used for other recipes, of course.
