When buying ground beef in bulk, season it and form into hamburger patties. Wrap each patty in freezer paper, then stack in a freezer bag.
For juicy burgers, add a stiffly beaten egg white to each pound of hamburger.
To grill a hamburger, get the grill really hot, then grill the patty for 1 minute on each side. Then either turn down the grill to medium or move the patty to indirect heat and grill 8 more minutes on each side.
For a side dish on the grill, place individual portions of chopped potatoes, onions and bell peppers on top of a doubled sheet of aluminum foil. Add some butter, salt and pepper, then wrap into bundles and place on grill.
Clean an outdoor grill after use by slicing a lemon or onion in half and rubbing the exposed side on the grates.
When cooking or grilling chicken breast meat, make a few extra and cube or cut into strips for freezing. They are a great quick addition to pasta dishes or salads.
Slice a roast into 1/2"-1" pieces for inexpensive and great tasting steaks.
Dip your hands in cold water before forming hamburger patties to keep the meat from sticking to your hands.
If you regularly use a butane wand lighter, buy a refillable one to save money and waste less.
When shaping hamburger patties, poke a small hole in the middle of the patty. It will cook faster, more even, and the hole will almost disappear when done.
