    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>The following assumes that some day when you came home from grocery shopping, having purchased a 5 lb (or larger) chub of ground beef, you broke it into bits and placed it on a broiler pan and broiled until cooked well.  The fat drained into the pan below through the slats.  You then divided your cooked 5 lb chub into 5 roughly equal parts &#38; packaged each into a zip lock sandwich bag and froze it.  </li>
		<li>Need a meal in a dash? Put one of the frozen ground beef packages in a covered casserole dish with contents of a Hamburger Helper entree (or just about anything requiring a lb of ground beef) and water as needed.  </li>
		<li>Hit the appropriate number of minutes on your microwave panel.</li>
		<li>Stir and enjoy!</li>
