What is the best way to freeze ground beef for easy meal prep?

Freezing ground beef is a great way to save time and money when it comes to meal prep. The best way I've found to freeze ground beef is by flattening it into thin, even layers in a freezer bag. This allows it to freeze quickly, preventing ice crystals from forming which can affect the texture. Plus, the thin layers make it super easy to break off the exact amount you need for a meal. Just be sure to label and date the bags so you know what you have and when it was frozen.
