Don’t have time or being lazy. Cut the veggies.

Google search pops up a TD thread from 2018:
90% onions, 5% bell pepper and 5% celery
That was my answer. Unscientific, but I stick with it.

I much prefer cutting my own, but frozen are ok if you defrost them and pat dry. If you cook from frozen, they just steam.

It's worth asking the produce department if they'll chop them. Back when I was a teen, I would do 50 lbs every Friday in one of those french fry choppers. Once you get in a rhythm, it doesn't really take that long to do.

Use something like this if you do not want to use pre-packaged. It really helps speed up the chopping process and assure each "chunk" of onion is the same size.

Probably 80-90% onions but I use it all the time. Their plant is in my home town. Add 1 small bell pepper per container or add 1 big bell pepper per 3 Guidry's containers. Need to add minced garlic separate.

Good call, maybe i'll just suck it up and chop my own
But to be fair, if I'm ever cooking for a huge group and multiplying my recipe by a lot, I’ll buy the pre chopped Trinity. And If I'm multiplying my recipe by 8, for example, I buy 8 of those trinity's.

why are ya'll acting like chopping an onion is hard work

They are mostly onions, but you can find some that have more bell peppers than others. I think they’d be fine, but you might want to get a stalk or two of celery and a bell pepper or two and do a rough chop with Guidry’s as the base.
Personally, I’d probably avoid frozen veggies for a tailgate jambalaya. We used to use Guidry’s and it was fine.

invariably I wind up preferring more celery and bell pepper than onion in my trinity. Especially more celery. The pre cut stuff is a waste of money and an inferior product
half the fun of cooking is the prep, plus you get to show off your ninja knife skills

No one said it was hard.
But if I am using my 75 gallon pot I am not sitting there and hand chopping onions, bell peppers, and celery for an hour and a half. And then having to chop meat.
But I'll even use it for my 5 gallon pot because it saves time - and like I mentioned, it's much easier to get someone to help you since they need no skill level at chopping to pull a lever. It's the reason they have them in high volume kitchens. You don't have to train anyone, and they don't even need basic knife skills.
