Lisa’s Meal Prepped Beef & Pork Mix | Made with Stemple Creek Ground Beef & Ground Pork

“I like to cook up a big batch of ground beef and pork at the beginning of the week so I always have something ready to go in the fridge. It makes putting together dinner during the week quick and easy.”

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Add the ground beef and ground pork to a large skillet and cook over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and season with garlic salt to taste.
  3. Sauté until the onion is tender and the meat is fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Enjoy right away, or allow the mixture to cool and store it in the refrigerator to use throughout the week.

Lisa’s Favorite Ways to Use It:

  • Quesadillas: Add the meat mixture and sautéed vegetables to a tortilla, then serve with homemade guacamole.
  • Tacos or Burritos: Set out your favorite toppings for an easy build-your-own dinner.
  • Meat Sauce: Add the mixture to your favorite sauce and serve over pasta, spaghetti squash, or sautéed cauliflower rice.
