The Kind Of Dinner That Saves Busy Nights
Last night was one of those nights.
We came in around 6:00 after a full day of calving with no real plan for supper, and everyone's hungry, even Fritzie.
So we had: Calving Season Spanish Rice
I grabbed a pound of frozen ground beef from the freezer and put it in a cast-iron pan on the stove over low heat.
Once it thawed enough to break apart, I turned the heat up a little and got out chopped peppers and onions.
(Frozen ones, because honestly, chopping onions after a long day isn’t my favorite thing.)
Once the beef was cooked, I took it out of the pan for a minute, added a little olive oil, cooked the peppers and onions down, then added:
- • about 2 cups of leftover rice
- • the ground beef back in
- • around a cup of salsa
Heated it all through, then topped it with grated cheddar cheese.
That was supper.
Simple.
Fast.
Very little cleanup.
And after a long, calving day, everybody ate without complaint.
Meals like this are why we believe so strongly in keeping good beef in the freezer.
And if you already have browned ground beef in the freezer, supper gets even easier
Not every dinner has to be complicated to be good.
And one thing we hear over and over from customers is how flavorful our ground beef is compared to store beef.
The right blend of fat.
Real beef flavor.
Meals that actually taste satisfying.
We’ve had people tell us they could sit and eat a bowl of the browned ground beef all by itself.
One customer even told us our ground beef reminded him of prime rib because of how rich and beefy the flavor was.
Ground beef is included in nearly every bundle and beef share we offer because it’s the cut families use the most.
It’s also the same ground beef we donate to the Montana Veterans Meat Locker in our customers’ names when they reserve a bulk beef share.
👉 Start Filling Your Freezer Here
Most families don’t realize how much easier dinner gets once there’s good beef already in the freezer.
Until they experience it themselves.
Calving season keeps the days long around here. Having easy meals ready to pull together at the end of the day makes a bigger difference than most people expect.
And having beef sticks in our pocket makes a big difference on the days when lunch doesn't happen
