Product Description
Mirepoix is simply a ready-to-use blend of some basic ingredientsâcarrots, onions, & celeryâjust about every cook uses. Here, these three common ingredients have been washed, peeled, andâmost importantlyâchopped into a ready-to-use size, layered, and packaged in a recyclable, see-through tub. All that prep work⊠done. Just think about all the extra time youâll have to focus on your culinary creations (or finishing that long-neglected novel) with these ingredients at the ready. Many cooks swear by Mirepoix as the essential start to soups, casseroles, and roasting meats. This combo can also be a key player in things like sauces, stuffing, and stir-frys.

Why use this product?
Here’s two reasons why I use this mix:
No chop recipes
This mix is so great because it takes the labor out of washing and chopping all three of these vegetables. Simply open the container and dump into a pot or skillet. This is a great product for making dump meals and no chop recipes.
Saves money
This mix is a cheap way to get three vegetables into a budget meal plan. Instead of purchasing all three vegetables, you can purchase just one product for $3.49 and include a variety of vegetables into a meal plan.

Yes, you can freeze Trader Joe’s Mirepoix! I simply place the container into the freezer before the expiration date. I also use this product for freezer meal prep, like I describe below.
