1
In a large pan, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, saute until onions are transluscent and lightly caramelized.
2
Increase the heat to high. Add the ground beef to the pan, sprinkle salt and pepper, and stir well. Cook for about 10 minutes until the beef is browned, stirring occasionally.
3
Transfer the browned ground beef mixture to a 6 quart or larger slow cooker. Set the heat to low and cover. Cook for about 3 hours.
4
After 3 hours, stir the ground beef, breaking any larger chunks. Continue to cook for another 3 hours or until the beef is thoroughly cooked and tender.
5
Let the ground beef cool slightly before dividing it into portion-sized freezer bags, making sure to also divide the flavorful juices equally. Freeze until ready to use.
6
When needed, just thaw the ground beef in the refrigerator or on your kitchen counter, and it's ready to use for any dish.
