This was a great vegetable dish. Unfortunately, we did not have any fresh sugar snap peas at the grocery, so I used frozen. That made for a mushier pea, but still very tasty. Next time I hope to be able to find the fresh. I will also use less garlic next time - because we just prefer less garlic flavor.

This is a great side dish! My DH loves sugar snap peas and they were even better with this special way of making them. I made exactly as stated and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing. Made for Photo Tag.

The combined flavor of sugar snap peas and bacon was pretty good. But the sugar snaps had very stringy bits of stalk in them that made it hard to chew. I didn't use a whole onion because we're not big on them, and it was still a lot of onion.
