Big-Batch Beef Sauce image

"I prepare this beef mixture on weekends when I have a little more time," relates Debbie Hodge of Kitscoty, Alberta. "Having it in the freezer is a real time-saver during the week and a great way to serve unexpected guests." She uses the versatile sauce to get a head start on casseroles, stews and several swift suppers she shares here.

This sauce is a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I can adjust the amount of chili flakes next time.
