Ground meat storage, how do you do yours?

[Buzz2401]

I stuff it into 1 lb tubes and put a hog ring at the top

  1&2 pound bags except we use the tape

1lb bags with tape. Never any issue with freezer burn but I make it a point to use every pack of meat before new season. No sense in keeping meat longer then one year, unless you don't think you are going to get another animal.

I vacuum seal flat in 1.5 pound packages with a vacmaster.  Then everything goes into my meat filing cabinet nice and neat, and thaws out very quickly.

Double Bagged in 1 Quart Freezer Bags
I started doing this about 2010, mark half your bags with a felt marker, fill an unmarked bag with burger, the amount you want, turn the bag upside down into another marked bag, zip it and done. 1 quart bags will hold about 1 to 2 pounds depending how you prefer to pack them. We have some 2012 Buffalo that we are just finishing up, still good eating, some light freezer burn on some edges, meat seems to last better and is quicker than wrapping. Three boxes of freezer bags will do an elk, no tape needed, very cheap and easy to do.

Double Bagged 1 Gallon Freezer Bags
I always fill a few gallon freezer bags for times when we want to make a large pot of spaghetti or taco meat. Gallon bags hold about 4 or 5 pounds of meat, very quick to package and will last up to 5 years in the freezer with only slight freezer burn.

(push out excess air in the zip locks as your zip them)

Frostless Freezers
FYI: Meat will freezer burn much faster in a frostless freezer.

Dale I think you just changed my life.
