Living in a rural area, I cook out of my freezer more often than not these days. One thing I always have on hand is ground beef. I buy a large club pack of hamburger and portion it out into one pound packs. I flatten them so they defrost fast and stack easily in the freezer. Then I thaw it and use it in one of these delicious ground beef recipes.
