Directions:

1. Cook the hamburger, if using fresh Onions and Peppers, add to meat while cooking.
2. Drain the hamburger, and rinse thoroughly with hot water to remove as much grease as possible.

5. Cool, and then pour into lined trays, I would pre-freeze before going into the freeze dryer.
6. Freeze Dry
