This is great feel-good kind of comfort food; quick and easy to put together. My newly purchased cream turned out to be sour :( so I had to use all milk. But it turned out nice and creamy anyway, and I saved some fat and calories. I will make it with milk only for future as well. Made for 1-2-3 Tag

Delicious! So simple and so good! I used Land O Lakes fat free half and half in place of the heavy cream and I didn't cook my peas, just let them thaw before adding because I love the taste of them that way! I put it over white rice and the gravy soaks into the rice and its heaven in every bite! Thank you for sharing this simple and delicious meal! :)

Yum! I didn't cook the peas as I like the "pop" of a crunchy vegetable, and I did throw in a pinch of nutmeg to brighten the flavors. DH had his on toast, I had mine on rice. Thanks for another keeper!

Delicious! I served over leftover angel hair pasta and this worked great. This is quick and easy to make and delicious to boot! I'll make this again. So easy and good!

Made this pretty much as given, although, like another reviewer, I didn't cook the thawed peas (much prefer them uncooked!) & that worked out just fine for us! Served over a thick slice of toasted whole grain bread & it's a comfort meal plus! Many thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits recipe tag]
