Frozen ground beef is best used within 3-4 months. Once cooked ground beef is thawed you can't refreeze it. So if you want to make a casserole to freeze, cook ground beef as directed. Once cooled, prepare casserole as directed using freshly cooked ground beef. Then freeze casserole as directed. TACO MEAT: Place 3 cups of cooked ground beef in skillet with 1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning, and 1/4 c water or 1/4 c salsa.
