Cheap and Easy “Simple Scrambles”

You may be familiar with the "Jimmy Dean Simply Scrambles," which are fantastic but rather expensive. The first time I opened one up I thought, "Hey, I can prepare this myself!" Here is our recipe that we like to use, though I typically do 3-5x as much at a time as is called for in the recipe. You can easily store these in the fridge or the freezer (and then the fridge to thaw) for later use.

Pre-Prep of bags

  • If you're a wimp (or rather if your kids can't handle the amount of fat), you can drain the meat.

  • Let the meat cool, best to use the refrigerator so it doesn't get gross. Put about 1/2 cup of the meat mix into snack size bags

  • Seal them, you can get out most of the air so they store smaller.
