Creamed Peas are a classic side dish that is very easy to make. The cream is buttery and sweetened just a little bit that made my kids love this.

This side dish is really good, and honestly good enough to serve for the holidays. A big batch for the whole family is a great addition to a holiday feast.

How to make Easy Creamed Peas:

Start by setting your frozen peas on the counter. Allow them to thaw out while you prepare and make the cream sauce.

Make the cream sauce and then add the peas. Mix well and allow the peas time to heat up. Serve with dinner and enjoy.

Ingredient Notes:

• Frozen Peas
• Unsalted Butter
• All-Purpose Flour
• Half and Half: this is found in the dairy section of the grocery store. This is equal parts cream and milk.
• Sugar
• Seasoning: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, and Pepper

Directions:

Step One – Set out your peas to slightly thaw.

Step Two – In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium/high heat.

Step Three – Once butter is melted whisk in flour.

Step Four – Slowly whisk in half and half. I added about ½ cup at a time whisking until thickened and combined before adding more.

Step Five – To your cream sauce whisk in sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step Six – Mix in peas and heat for 4-5 minutes mixing while cooking.

Remove from heat and serve.

Can I use Canned Peas?

You can definitely use canned peas in this recipe. Make sure they are drained as you do not want any extra liquid in the sauce.

No matter if you use frozen or canned peas you do not want to add the peas until the end of the cooking process so as to keep the peas from getting mushy.

What to serve with creamed peas:

These creamed peas go great with steak or my Ranch Chicken.

I even think I will be making them with my next Easter Ham and Thanksgiving Turkey.
