    Creamed Peas and Pearl Onions

    During the holiday season, I like to make quite a few side dishes. For Thanksgiving this year, I plan to make one of our long time favorite sides, Creamed Peas and Pearl Onions. They are so simple to make and compliment just about any meal. Oh, and I also plan to make our favorite Honey Glazed Carrots too!

    Creamed Peas and Pearl Onions will make for a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any day vegetable side dish. A classic recipe that is so easy to make.

    Years ago, we got hooked on a store brand of Peas and Pearl Onions in a creamy sauce. You could buy them at most grocery stores. The hubby and I LOVED them and were slightly addicted, ha ha. Fast forward to the past few years, we were unable to find them at any of our local grocery stores. Since I was unable to locate them, I started making our own homemade version. If you have ever bought the store bought version, you know how delicious they are. Well, homemade is actually so much better.

    Creamed Peas and Pearl Onions will make for a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any day vegetable side dish. A classic recipe that is so easy to make.

    To make your own Creamed Peas and Peal Onions, you will need frozen pearl onions, frozen peas, butter, flour, sugar, garlic powder, and some milk or heavy cream. I make this dish on the stove top and allow it to simmer with very little effort. It will make for a perfect side dish for your dinners during the holiday season. I make it year round because it is that good. YUM!

      Can this be made a day ahead? Also, I have to use fresh pearl onions as I couldn’t find frozen….should I pre-cook them at all?

      Tried the creamed peas last night- easy and soooo good- I didn’t have the pearl onions , so I chopped up white onion and fried with bacon- not the same as the cute pearl onions🙃, but was delicious!

      Can’t get frozen pearl onions in NZ, so made with small fresh pickling onions and frozen peas – works brilliantly!
