Default Freezing Ground Beef

I find the best way, without a vacuum sealer and to aid in fast thawing,
is to separate it into one pound portions and squish each portion flat
inside a regular (not pleated bottom) Ziploc bag, edge to edge. Smooth it out
so that the thickness is fairly even. Freeze flat. Not only will a flat package like this
thaw fairly quickly, but you can...while still in the bag...whack the bag on the corner
of the counter to break off individual portions to thaw, if you only need one or a few.

It works perfectly.
