Anyone Use Frozen Onions and/or Frozen Green Bell Peppers?

Have not used frozen onions, but I use frozen chopped green peppers when I make chili and I have no complaints.

I've never bought them, but I have often diced up leftover onions and peppers, put them in a plastic bag, and frozen them to add to a recipe later. They work great in things like chili, soup, and casseroles, but I'm not fond of their texture in stir-fries.

Yes I always have frozen chopped onions in my freezer... Use them in making my stir fry and other, various recipes...

Main reason is for me buying fresh onions is not a good thing... Cannot eat much onions and they don't agree with me... Just having a small amount in my cooking works okay...

As far as peppers cannot tolerate them as well.

Yes, I use them all the time. I often cut up peppers and onions (raw) and freeze them in freezer bags. They work great for me. I also roast mushrooms and freeze them as well. It is great to have the prep work already done on busy days.

I prefer fresh, but I always have a bag of both in my freezer for those times when I just want to throw together a pot of soup or an omelette and don't have anything else in the house.

I've only ever gotten frozen pearl onions, which always were good in the dish I was cooking.

many many years ago I remember my SIL using frozen ch onions, because my brother hated when her hands smelled like onions! I thought "yoi"!! Yes, it is true, yuk. I'd be in bed and smell onions (from my hands). Now I chop my own and freeze them and keep in the freezer in zip lock bags. same with green peppers. I'd never seen chopped green peppers frozen at the grocery store. I'll look! It's convenient and gives the right taste to what you're cooking. Living alone,,it's real nice to have on hand. I also put grapes and lemon slices on a cookie sheet and freeze then transfer to baggies to keep frozen,,great in ice water or tea.

I cup up and freeze peppers when they are cheap. Schwan's sells a bag of Roasted peppers and onions. I keep them in the freezer. Such a great shortcut, especially for omelets.

Same here--never use the frozen onions, but I always keep a bag of he chopped peppers on hand. Usually buy at Trader Joe's--mix of yellow, red and green peppers.
