Healthy Freezer meal prep - 4 x Ground beef different

hi friends today i will show you what i

will make out of this big roll of ground

beef

stay tuned

[Music]

so today i went to sands club and i

found this huge roll of ground beef

so it's 90 percent lean 10 fat which is

an awesome deal for 276 a pound i paid

about 26 dollars for the whole

row it's huge it's gonna give me a lot

of dinners

i scrambled together four of my favorite

recipes colombian empanadas

lasagna tomato basil burger and the best

meatloaf

ever all those four meals will be

freezer meals meaning

you can store them in the freezer for up

to three months and you can pull them

out whenever you're ready to eat them

the first dish i'm cooking will be the

meatloaf i have a special recipe for my

meatloaf

i don't use panko bread crumbs like most

people do instead i use oats

although i put a lot of vegetables in my

meatloaf to make it healthy i will

make two of those those are all the

ingredients we will need for the

meatloaf

the plan is to make four different

dishes in each dish i will make multiple

off

which means i will cut this in quarters

which leaves me about two and a half

pound for each dish

let's get started

so it's about two and a pound two pounds

to a pound and

two and a half pound let's start with

the oats you need about three quarters

of a cup of quick cooking olives i don't

have any quick cooking notes

so what i'm doing is i'm taking regular

oats and just put them in a food

processor like really quick for a few

seconds

it's going to shred them up and make it

quick cooking oats

next you need a third cup of milk

add the quick cooking oats to it

just mix them through and let them soak

and get them get soft

let's start with the garlic

let's chop the garlic really fine

next up are the onions

oh

all right i don't know about you guys

but there's this one trick you can do

to not cry about onions you put some

water in your mouth

cold water

[Music]

put some olive oil in the pan take your

onions

garlic and the rosemary put it in a pan

saute it a bit for about five minutes

put it to the side let it cool down next

up cut the mushrooms

peppers the parsley

some chives

into the bowl

add the mushrooms

chop the parsley

chop the green onions

chop the carrots

add all the ingredients to the bowl stir

it all together

let's add one egg

let's add the sauteed garlic and onion i

took the rosemary out and tossed it

it should be cooled down by now

we need about one teaspoon of dijon

mustard

now we need a little bit more than half

a cup of ketchup

[Music]

salt and pepper to taste

i really like pepper a lot

all right some salt

let's mix it all together and then add

the ground beef last

before you dig in you want to get your

meatloaf pans

ready just grease them lightly

all right let's do this

[Music]

don't squeeze too hard like make sure it

fits in and it fills it out

but don't like push it down and squeeze

it too hard it's gonna make the meatloaf

way too tough

[Music]

look how delicious they look um

now all you have to do is just put some

aluminum foil on top of it

i would recommend to double wrap it

stick it in the freezer

and you know use it within the next

three months

so you can either take it straight out

of the freezer and put it in the oven

and keep it in the oven for a little bit

longer

or you can take it out of the freezer

the day before

put it in the fridge untied and then put

it into the

oven whenever you're ready to cook it

always make sure you wrap it tightly

because you do not want to end up with

freezer

next to the hamburger patties with basil

and feta cheese

let's start by cutting the basil

just chop it up finely

finely chopped you can add it to the

ground beef

just cut the green onions finely can add

them

next up two garlic cloves

a little bit of salt

some pepper

kind of cheese

put some gloves on

all right let's edit

[Music]

[Music]

once they're done take some parchment

paper

and put them on top of it

take another piece of parchment paper to

separate the burgers

stick it in pot

this is one big burger

cover the last burger with an additional

sheet of parchment paper

take a freezer bag and slide the burgers

inside of the freezer bag

try to get as much air out of the bag as

you can store it in the freezer for up

to three months

[Music]

alright next up is lasagna

and some parsley ricotta cheese some

parmesan and one egg

let's add egg to the bowl

add the parmesan cheese powder

add some parsley

let's mix it

[Music]

chop one onion

chop some garlic

brown the ground beef in a frying pan

drain any excess fat

cook the onions and garlic with the

ground beef

it's next first we're gonna put some of

the tomato sauce the marinara sauce on

the bottom

to spread out a few a little

good amount

[Music]

add one layer of pre-cooked lasagna

noodles into the pan

[Music]

then one spoon of a

belgian sauce

[Music]

next is the layer of ground beef

[Music]

try to spread it out evenly

[Music]

sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the

ground beef

[Music]

now repeat the layer starting with the

lasagna noodles again

another layer of ground beef

sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese

and another layer starting again with

the lasagna noodle

i finished up the lasagna with a total

of four layers

you can make as many layers as you want

to depending on how much ground beef you

have left

the last layer is going to be a layer of

pasta that you top with marinara sauce

[Music]

finish up the lasagna with a thick layer

of mozzarella cheese on top of it

cover lasagna with two sheets of

aluminum foil

store the lasagna in the freezer for up

to three months

i only stored one of the lasagnas in the

freezer the other one i made right away

for dinner

the lasagna was so good we hit

everything in one day

[Music]

[Music]

so guys i had to stop cooking real quick

because there's this really cute visitor

we have right now

cutest thing ever

next up at the colombian empanadas

already creek caught a bunch of stuff

white onion potatoes cilantro

green onions tomatoes garlic peppers

for the colombian empanadas we need pan

one and a half cups to two cups

of pan of the cornmeal add about two

cups of water to the pan

and mix it throughly after add about

one teaspoon of vegetable oil

use your hands to mix the dough

let the dough rest for about 20 minutes

after that

start forming the outside shell of the

empanadas

i use parchment paper to not have the

dough stick to the table

also i use a underside of a pan

or a pot to flatten out the dough

this is my least favorite part about

making empanadas

[Music]

put everything you need for the filling

in a pan and cook it

once it's done cooking let it cool down

a bit and start filling the empanadas

use about one tablespoon of the filling

don't overfill the empanadas otherwise

they won't close

use the parchment paper to fold the

empanada in half

then use a mug to give the empanada its

final shape and close it

[Music]

once you're done with the empanadas

place them individually in the freezer

and let them freeze

once the empanadas are frozen store them

in freezer bags and keep them in the

freezer for up to three months

traditionally empanadas are fried i try

to do a more healthier version and put

them into the airfryer

cover the empanadas and oil and place

them into the airfryer

for 16 minutes at 380 degrees

this one is the ahi this goes with the

colombian empanadas

i would like to show you a picture of

the empanadas out of the airfryer but

they were so good i ate them all before

i took a picture
