Ingredients for Creamed Peas<\/h2>\n\n- Peas:<\/strong> Frozen peas are a great staple ingredient for busy nights. You can easily substitute canned or fresh peas here, but if you opt for canned peas, be sure to drain them before adding them to the recipe. You don’t want to thin out the sauce. Love this vegetable? Here are other frozen pea recipes<\/a> everyone will love.<\/li>\n
- Butter:<\/strong> Butter adds richness to this dish and provides essential fat to make the creamy sauce. Here’s how to make roux<\/a> from beginning to end.<\/li>\n
- Flour:<\/strong> Flour gives the sauce its body and serves as its main thickening agent.<\/li>\n
- Milk:<\/strong> Choose whole milk for a creamy, velvety and smooth sauce. For extra indulgence, you could also opt for half-and-half or heavy cream as a milk substitute<\/a>. We do not suggest nonfat or low-fat milk as they will not thicken properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Cook the peas<\/h3>\n
Cook the peas according to package directions.<\/p>\n
Editor’s tip<\/em>: You can cook peas in myriad ways, from the microwave to the stove. Here’s how to cook peas<\/a> for the best results.<\/p>\nStep 2: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually add milk and sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook and stir until thickened, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Combine and serve<\/h3>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDrain the peas to remove any excess moisture, then stir into the sauce. Cook for a few minutes to heat through, and serve.<\/p>\n
Editor’s tip<\/em>: To keep your sauce rich and creamy, be sure to thoroughly drain the peas before adding them to the saucepan.<\/p>\nCreamed Peas Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Add bacon:<\/strong> For meaty richness and texture, add 1\/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon to the peas before serving. You can also add diced ham or cooked sausage.<\/li>\n
- Add onion:<\/strong> For a little extra flavor, saute half of a small onion in melted butter until lightly caramelized before adding the flour and remaining ingredients. Caramelized onions<\/a> add a little extra depth to the sauce and complement the sweetness of the peas.<\/li>\n
- Toss in fresh herbs or spices:<\/strong> Add your favorite combination of fresh herbs or spices to amp up the flavor. Mint, dill, basil, thyme and parsley all go wonderfully with peas. Meanwhile, mustard powder, curry, onion powder and black pepper contrast nicely against the sweetness of peas.<\/li>\n
- Make vegan creamed peas:<\/strong> For a vegan version, opt for your favorite vegan butter spread, and swap the milk for your favorite nondairy milk<\/a>. For extra creaminess, use coconut cream (which would pair wonderfully with curry powder) or a dairy-free heavy whipping cream alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store Creamed Peas<\/h2>\n
Leftover creamed peas may be kept refrigerated for two to three days in an airtight container. To reheat, warm gently in a saucepan over low heat until heated through. You may also microwave at a reduced power for several minutes.<\/p>\n
Can you freeze creamed peas?<\/h2>\n
No, we don’t suggest freezing creamed peas since recipes with dairy-based sauces (and dairy-based soups) tend to separate upon thawing and reheating. Since this is a quick and easy side dish recipe that can be whipped up in right around 15 minutes, we recommend preparing it fresh every time for the best taste and texture.<\/p>\n

I don't use the sugar as the peas are sweet enough. However, a pinch of garlic powder or crushed clove of garlic is yummy and half & half or canned milk gives richer taste to cream sauce.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Cook the peas<\/h3>\n
Cook the peas according to package directions.<\/p>\n
Editor’s tip<\/em>: You can cook peas in myriad ways, from the microwave to the stove. Here’s how to cook peas<\/a> for the best results.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended; gradually add milk and sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook and stir until thickened, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n Drain the peas to remove any excess moisture, then stir into the sauce. Cook for a few minutes to heat through, and serve.<\/p>\n Editor’s tip<\/em>: To keep your sauce rich and creamy, be sure to thoroughly drain the peas before adding them to the saucepan.<\/p>\n Leftover creamed peas may be kept refrigerated for two to three days in an airtight container. To reheat, warm gently in a saucepan over low heat until heated through. You may also microwave at a reduced power for several minutes.<\/p>\n No, we don’t suggest freezing creamed peas since recipes with dairy-based sauces (and dairy-based soups) tend to separate upon thawing and reheating. Since this is a quick and easy side dish recipe that can be whipped up in right around 15 minutes, we recommend preparing it fresh every time for the best taste and texture.<\/p>\n Yes. If you prefer to make gluten-free creamed peas, you can thicken the sauce without flour. Our favorite gluten-free sauce thickeners are cornstarch and arrowroot powder.<\/p>\n Serve creamed peas with any of your favorite main dishes, from air-fryer chicken recipes<\/a> to sweet ham steak<\/a> or any of our meatloaf recipes<\/a>. Try making creamed peas for your next holiday feast. It might just top your list of most-requested Thanksgiving sides<\/a> or Christmas side dishes<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For a quick and easy side dish that’s cozy and satisfying, creamed peas checks all the boxes.

I was impressed by two things - 1, the sauce did not become grainy after boiling, and 2, the sugar improved the flavor of the sauce 100%. The only thing I did different was not precook the peas. I used frozen, placed them in cold water to thaw, drained well the put them in as I heated the sauce up. They were perfect.

Since I have time in the morning and he gets home before I do, I try to put together a casserole that he can throw in the oven.

I did not want just peas, so I looked up this recipe. It was quick and delicious and big hit with my husband.
