Step 1: Take a step back and admire your green beans because god damn, you’re amazing, you just grew green beans! Fresh green beans are one of our favorite foods and they’re so versatile in the kitchen! You can use them in casseroles, soups, stir fry, or even slow cooker meals. Thanksgiving is only a few months away, so you can even save your garden green beans to make your favorite Green Bean Casserole family! How cool is it to make a Thanksgiving casserole with FRESH green bean that you grew? Talk about a dish made out of love!

Step 2: Trim the ends off both sides of green beans.

Step 3: Cut the green beans in half.

Step 4: Wash with water, making sure to get all dirt off them.

Step 5: Dry completely. Place on a cloth towel or paper towel, allowing to dry completely. This usually takes about 20 minutes.

Step 6: Place in freezer bags. I like to make 1 cup, 12 oz and 16 oz bags. Label the bag.

Step 7: Freeze!
