4 lb ground beef
1 1/2 each onion, chopped,large
3 each cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
Directions
Cook and stir meat, onions and garlic in Dutch oven until meat is
brown. Drain off fat. Stir in seasonings. Spread meat mixture in 2
ungreased baking pans, 13x9x2 inches. Freeze 1 hour. (This partial
freezing prevents the meat from freezing together solidly.) Crumble
meat mixture into small pieces; place in heavy plastic bag or freezer
container. Seal securely and label; freeze no longer than 3 months.
Use freezer mix in the recipes that call for it. NOTE: You can use
this mix in any recipe for drained, seasoned browned ground beef.
Each 3 1/2 cups lightly packed frozen mix is the equivalent of 1
pound ground beef, 1/3 cup chopped onion, 1 small clove garlic, 1/2
teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. (If mixture is not frozen, allow 3
cups.)

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
