Prep Work is Hard Work!

We did a ton of prep work for our cooking session.  Besides all of the dicing, slicing, shredding and browning, we made a huge slow cooker full of pasta sauce, 2 pounds of refried beans, cooked and shredded a 9 lb. pork shoulder roast and a 4 lb. beef chuck roast, and prepped 20 lbs. of skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

Final numbers included:

Bell peppers: Dice 8, Slice 2 and Chunk 4
Onions: Slice 1, Chunk 6 and buy a huge bag of frozen, diced onions instead of dicing 15 of them ourselves
Chicken: Boil 8 pounds, Shred 7, Dice 1; Slice 5 pounds raw
Steak: Slice 3 pounds raw for fajitas and stir-fry
Ground beef: Brown 6 pounds
Tomatoes: Peel 6 pounds

Additional prep:
Rolled 75 enchiladas and 80 taquitos
Stuffed over 5 dozen shells
Made 20 burritos
Used 144 Ziploc bags

The freezer is full, and we are pooped!  Recipes, pics and details coming soon!
