Sometimes for dinner we like to take these Creamed Peas and make a complete dinner out of them by serving them on top of toast and mashed potatoes – it’s pure comfort food! I sure hope you try them this way too!
Frozen, Canned or Fresh Peas?
If you’re trying to save time, use frozen or canned peas (drained) for this recipe! If you have a couple extra minutes and are growing peas in your garden, use fresh sweet peas – they will just take a little bit longer to boil to soften up.
How to Make
Boil peas with chicken broth and salt, boiling them until softened. Add butter and stir. Stir together milk, flour, sugar, cumin and pepper. The dash of cumin is important in this recipe to balance out the sweetness of the peas – try not to skip it! Add the cream mixture to the saucepan with peas and simmer until the sauce thickens. Serve and enjoy these yummy creamed peas!
How to Serve
These Creamed Peas are so versatile – besides serving them as a side dish next to other classic dishes like homemade meatloaf and Salisbury steak try these:
Serve over toasted bread and mashed potatoes or no peel yukon gold mashed potatoes for more of a chunky taste. Brown ground beef or sausage, add them to the creamy peas and then serve over toast or over buttered cabbage. Cook your favorite pasta and add the creamed peas in, letting it coat the noodles in the cream sauce! Bake some potatoes and make Creamed Potatoes and Peas!
How to Store
Refrigerator: Leftover creamed peas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or a saucepan on the stove. Freezing: To freeze them, allow them to cool down and then freeze in a freezer safe bag. They will stay good in the freezer for around 4 months. Defrost in the microwave and then warm up. To freshen them up, add a splash of milk. Pin for later:
