4 lbs. ground beef or chuck
1 1/2 c. chopped onion*
4 cloves garlic, minced*
salt and pepper to taste*
14 oz. can beef broth
Place beef in lined crockpot and top with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 2 hours if using fresh meat, 2 hours on high if using frozen. Chop to crumble meat. Cook for additional 2 hours until meat is fully cooked. Drain. Cool completely & divide into ziploc bags before placing in freezer. (I recently cooked ground beef in the crockpot for chili and didn't drain it after it was done cooking. Several people commented that it wasn't as good as it usually was, tasted greasier than usual, so next time I'll be sure to drain it first before adding all the other ingredients to it.)
*these items are optional. I just placed the fresh meat and broth in the crockpot and cooked on low for a total of 4 hours. The meat will be soft like restaurants. Works great! I did not put mine in the freezer as I was going to be using it to make lasagna later.
