Hamburger Casserole
The Ground Beef Seasoning Mix has a bit of cayenne pepper in it, but just enough for a little zing rather than a lot of heat. This dish would taste delicious with a spicy twist so, if that is your pleasure, add more cayenne.

How to Freeze Whole Kernel Corn
When corn is in season, buy it cheap and freeze it for the whole year. Husk the corn and remove silk. Blanch in boiling water 4–6 minutes, then put in bowl of ice water 4–6 minutes. Drain, then cut the kernels off the cob. Put in a freezer bag, separate the kernels from each other, and freeze.
