Plural?
Especially since she always does.
It’s always about the fish for you. 
I had no idea those things were called “chubs”. I learned a new word today! Although the only thing I recall seeing around here in that kind of packaging is liverwurst. It’s convenient because a serrated steak knife will slice right through the wrapper and cut off whatever quantity you need, and plastic wrap seals up the open end. The airtight packaging is nice because liverwurst lasts a long time and I go through it slowly.
Or cats.
Me either
I used to buy them back in the bachelor days, usually the 1 pound version, and would freeze. Then with a knife, I could cut off a part just the size of a hamburger and fry it up from there. Sure it would fall apart sometimes, but still a quick and easy way to do a hamburger.
Or catfish?
…hmmm?
All right, peeps, listen up:
I’ve mentioned it before, but this conversation means it is time for a rerun…
I spent many years as a working mommy, and I INVENTED this shortcut. I can use bulk packaged hamburger, but since Sam’s Club and I became best friends, I like to use the 90/10 ground beef in the ten-pound chub.
I use crockpots. I chop up onion and celery, and add granulated garlic. The hamburger gets placed in the crockpots, the veggies are added, I turn on the pots and walk away.
Throughout the cooking period, I use a “chopper” or large spatula and I break up the meat and stir the veggies into the meat. When everything is cooked, I add water and stir that in. After everything cools for a while, I like to dump the contents into large cottage cheese containers, and refrigerate, at leasr 24 hours. It can keep for a week or longer in the fridge.
Look up “baggie holders” on Amazon. I use the lime green gizmos that look like alien antenna. I bring the cottage cheese containers to the kitchen counter, where I first scrape off the solidified fat. I load up the alien antenna with quart-size ziploc freezer bags, and I scoop the beef mixture into the bags that I have pre-labeled “hamburger mix.”
Seal the bags and flatten. If there are still clumps of beef, you can squeeze them flat. Lay the bags flat in the freezer until they have frozen solid for 24 hours. Then you can tuck them throughout the freezer, wherever there is just enough room for one more thing!
From a ten pound chub, I’ll get at least fifteen bags of hamburger mix. Since the meat is already cooked, you can simply heat it up in a skillet and season for tacos or sloppy joes. Throw a bag into a pot of chili or one of soup or spaghetti sauce.
It’s a wonderful shortcut that I invented, and I’m still using it, almost 40 years later.
I’ve told countless people about my invention. To some, I’ve even GIVEN ziploc bags of the stuff. Everyone agrees, it sounds like a great idea…but they never do it for themselves.
You probably won’t either.

It took me a while to learn that chub meat did NOT mean fish.
Ten pound chub is like a single meal in our household. Ok, two meals. I long for the day when I will be able to buy a single pound of meat and end up with leftovers for me and the Mrs.
Seen any lately?
Yep!
In the chub package it’s the crunchy bits I don’t like, all it takes is one and ground is about the only red meat I buy so I’m shopping for top shelf ground beef.
Beckclyops!
