they go bad.
I've found that the bags of taco seasoning I use taste just fine with 3/4 of a pound of ground beef, instead of a full pound. I have a hard time estimating more precisely than the nearest quarter pound of meat anyway. :-) When I make 3/4 pounds of meat with taco seasoning, I can eat half, then put the other half in a sealed container in the fridge. It keeps at least a week -- at least, when I ate it a week later, I didn't feel sick or wind up in the hospital. ;-)

Same here. I usually buy a full-sized package of hamburger meat, then split it into several patties in small ziploc bags for freezing. The patties are small enough so that I can thaw about the right amount for a meal, and leave the rest frozen. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
