Prep Freezer Vegetable Starter Packs for Faster Meals

Dice onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and garlic in amounts your household often uses. Divide the mixture among four freezer-safe bags or containers, press out excess air, and freeze the portions flat before storing them upright. Add a frozen pack directly to a soup, bean stew, tomato sauce, or skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender. Use clean tools, wash produce, label each pack with the date, and follow freezer-storage guidance. Texture will be softer after freezing, so use the mix in cooked dishes rather than fresh salads. One preparation session can remove several weeknight chopping steps. #MealPrepIdeas #FreezerPrep #VegetableStarter #WeeknightMeals
