Notes
You can freeze the meat in freezer bags for up to 3 months in your freezer.
You can easily use this in a Taco Soup (https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/black-bean-taco-soup-freezer-meal/). I just threw everything in the Instant pot and cooked it for 5 minutes on MANUAL and did a quick release after it was done cooking. I used my already browned beef and just cooked my onions with the rest of the soup instead of browning it.
