        We buy ground beef in bulk whenever it’s on sale. Like 5 or 10 pounds at a time.

        We freeze them in quart bags, one pound at a time, squish them flat, and stack them in the freezer.

        So easy to slap in a pan and start frying for tacos or whatever.

        We recently got a half dozen or so pounds of 1 pound tubes of ground beef gifted to us. And man, it sucks trying to cook those from frozen. Scraping at them and frying them. Bah.

        Sort of. Let’s say the 16 were to the brim and it won’t zip with 17. You could fit an extra 4 by stacking it on top of those 16, and while it’d cause more “empty space” around those 4, there’s enough “slack” in the baggie to allow it to fit.
