Creamed Peas With Mushrooms and Onions.

~SarahBeth~'s Note:

Yummy side dish. I love peas! Use low fat milk for a lighter sauce or half and half for a richer sauce. I usually use what I have on hand. Sometimes I add a small handful of swiss cheese and a small handful of grated parmesean cheese to make it even yummier! I also find canned mushrooms work well in this if you are not against all things canned :) This is from southern cooking.

Perfect combination of goodness all wrapped up into one dish, seriously, couldn't be easier, or more yummy! I used whole milk and a mixture of homemade chicken broth. Fresh mushrooms graced this dish, as well as little white pearl onions. I am beyond happiness with peas, and this didn't let me down. Lovely presentation and great recipe!

This was such a delicious dish. I love frozen peas they are my favorite. I had used chicken broth instead of water and I mixed half and half with some milk. It was such a nice creamy flavor and will definitely make this again. It is also great reheated the next day too. I threw in the thawed peas while it was simmering with the milk and it was cooked perfectly, so it made this dish even quicker to make. I will be making this yummy dish again. Thanks for sharing your recipe SarahBeth.
