Cook ground beef in Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into chunks with wooden spoon while cooking, until meat reaches temperature of 160ºF (71ºC) throughout when tested with a digital instant-read thermometer. Drain, and return to pot. Add onion and garlic simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Spread mixture in a single layer on several foil or parchment paper-lined baking trays; freeze just until meat is firm, about 1 hour.
Loosen beef mixture into chunks; scoop meal-sized portions into freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
