Steps to Make Frozen Cooked Beans

Frozen Seasoning Pods

How do you cook frozen fresh green beans?

Recipe Summary Frozen Seasoning Pods

These are wonderful to have on hand to add to soups, roasts, veggie dishes--anything you want to add a little flavor to. When completely frozen, pop 2 to 3 pods into a snack-sized resealable plastic bag, label, date, and return to the freezer. Do this until all are bagged. Thaw and stir a pod into the eggs to get veggies into you kids! Drop frozen ones into the pot to thaw as the meat cooks.

Ingredients | Frozen Cooked Beans

1 green bell pepper

1 red bell pepper

1 onion, cut into quarters

3 stalks celery

2 large carrots

1 jalapeno pepper, or more to taste (Optional)

2 cloves garlic, or more to taste

1 tomato, halved

1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)

ground black pepper to taste

cooking spray

Directions

Chop green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, celery, carrots, jalapeno pepper, and garlic, each separately, in a food processor; combine in a large bowl. Chop tomato in the food processor, drain extra liquid, and transfer chopped tomato to vegetable mixture.

Mix seasoned salt and black pepper into vegetable mixture until evenly coated.

Spray ice cube trays or miniature muffin cups with cooking spray; fill each section with vegetable mixture using an ice cream scoop or large spoon.

Place trays in the freezer until vegetable mixtures are completely frozen, at least 3 hours.

Number of pods will depend on the size of your ice cube trays or mini muffin tins. Takes a couple hours to freeze, but can be used immediately in a dish you are preparing.

Red, yellow, or white onion can be used. Two roma tomatoes can be substituted for the tomato.
