The first bite was kind of weird. I could taste the mayo. But after it was getting better less mayo taste. But DH really didn't like this. Because of the mayo. I cooked it in the microwave. Thanks Wildflour. Made for Beverage tag.

This was such an easy side dish to make, it saved me so much time tonight, thanks! We all enjoyed this rice too, very tasty. Made this for ZWT4 for the ChicChefs.

Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for this tasty side dish! We had it along side Beef Rouladen. It was so easy to make and complimented the beef dish so well. Thanks again! :)

So good!! I hope you don't mind, but I used broccoli instead of the peas, bacause I needed to use it up. Will use the peas next time.:)

This really is delicious and very simple to make. I only had to use half the butter and half the mayo to get a very creamy, wonderful dish. I wish I'd cooked my frozen peas a little longer; normally, I like them with some snap to them, but I think soft would be better in this dish. Thanks for posting!
