how I divide my hamburger






I don't know exactly how much hamburger I use in my recipes, but I do know approximately.



I buy it in bulk when it goes on sale and then divide it up into smaller meal size portions.



This week I bought my meat for $1.69 a lb. - I got 2 big packages of it -


each for about $8.00 and $8.50 - I divided it into 16 smaller packages so that each one was equivilant to about $1.

From this picture below you can see it was 5 lbs (or 80 oz.) for $8.50 - so each smaller portion from this one is around 10 oz. which is fine with me - when a recipe calls for a lb. of meat, 10 oz. will be enough.
