This recipe will fill 4 medium trays by mass*

Directions:

1. Brown your hamburger with the chopped onion. 
2. In a large crockpot, add your browned hamburger with onion and the rest of the ingredients, mix well.
3. Cook on low in your crockpot for 8 hours. 
4. Let cool, then spread evenly on a lined freeze dryer tray, add dividers if you want to pre-portion your food, and put a cover on your tray. (I set my dividers up into 8 portions with a little left over, using 2 bricks for 1 portion of food)
5. Freeze until frozen solid (24-48 hours)
6. Store Appropriately (See Tips and Tricks for storage help)
