Homemade Meat Sauce (Freezer-Friendly!) | I Heart Recipes

Hey y’all! Today I’m going to show you how to make and freeze my homemade meat sauce.
https://iheartrecipes.com/how-to-make-the-best-meat-sauce-for-your-pasta/

Save time and stress during busy weeknights by making a big batch of this meat sauce ahead of time and freezing it. It’s so simple and requires only a few ingredients! You can use it in baked ziti, spaghetti, lasagna, cheeseburger mac, stuffed shells and so much more.

Simply brown the meat (I usually use ground beef in this recipe, but ground turkey works just as well), add tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and cheese, and simmer. Once cooled, pour approximately 2 cups of sauce into a quart-size bag (I can usually get 5 bags out of this recipe), flatten and freeze. When you're ready to use your sauce, just thaw it and incorporate it into any dish. It’s that easy!

Remember to label your bags! I’ve had this sauce in the freezer for up to 3 months, and it tasted just as fresh as day one.
