Anyway, the store didn't have any packages available of pre-formed patties, so we bought a 10 pound chub instead. The "theory" was that I could just slice patties from this enormous tube of meat.
Yeah, right!
The first slice worked well, as I cut straight through the plastic wrap. From then on... disaster. The dental floss was a non-starter, so I went with a serrated knife and hacked away.
Studly said he knew that I always wanted a ginormous tube-steak. I said I was more interested in cutting the schlong into smaller pieces.
I packaged the patties in sets of two, and kept 3 out to cook for lunch.
In the end, I got 12 packages plus lunch for $18.44 or about $1.50 of meat per meal. Not bad considering.
And it ought to last a good long while. Like maybe until 4th of July!

We used to get the big packs of burger and freeze our own patties as well. I would freeze them on baking sheets until fairly solid then I stacked them between sheets of waxed paper in freezer ziplocks. That way we could take out as many as we needed for that meal. With 5 of us, we would need at least that many but sometimes my hubby wanted 2 or we would have friends over for a cookout. Of course, they didn't last long enough to worry about freezer burn in the bag so I could get away without wrapping them.
