I like this recipe I am glad that I found it. When you make some thing easy and simple this is what to make. What I did was made some rice and put the creamy peas over it with fresh bacon bits in the creamed peas.

I love peas and thought these were great esp for a holiday side dish. VERY easy to make, even my teenage son can do it and that's sayin' something!

Tracy, from Modesto (i[m from Manteca....we're almost neighbors Anyway, this will not thicken. You have to add a little flour to the melted butter-salt-pepper and then add the cream...then add the peas and the rest of the ingredient etc. Even though I thought it was strange not to use a 'thickener' and to let just basically simmer to 'thicken' I tried it and let it simmer for an hour...never thickened :. You can use corn starch mixed in water and then add to the VERY hot cream and that will thicken it. Anyway...Have fun!
