Freeze & Thaw Instructions: To freeze, add the browned ground beef and spaghetti sauce to a labeled plastic freezer baggie or container. Put in
the freezer, laying flat on a plate or baking sheet (so it doesn’t stick to the grates or floor of the freezer). Freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to a saucepan to cook.
