I bought a small pack of hamburger at the grocery store once. Same foam tray but it just wasn’t overstuffed like so many are. The checkout girl, holding this, says of it “I don’t understand why they underpackage it like this.” and I say “Well some of us are bachelors and will only eat a pound of burger before it goes bad.”
A trick you can adapt is one my family often did with wild meat.
You freeze a big block of meat, beef or whatever you have. It doesn’t matter how big it is as long as it doesn’t have a bone in it.
When you go to use it, you bring out the entire frozen block and you just shave off slices like a block of wood with a big carving knife or butcher blade. Sometimes mom would just a very sharp axe if the block was too solidly frozen. Then once you got enough of what you needed, you wrap up the frozen block and put it back again. This method allows you keep a large frozen block and use it again and again without have to wait to thaw the whole thing. You only carve off what you need for the meal and then keep the rest frozen. The thin shavings of meat are quick to cook and don’t need thawing.

I think the young people enjoy it when I get down verbally, don’t you?
that reminds me of OHH THE FRENCH
