Creamed Sweet Pea Casserole

You know how Thanksgiving is more about the sides than the turkey?  Well, this is one dish you are going to want as part of the feast.

Creamed Sweet Pea Casserole is similar to green bean casserole, only it has a creamy, homemade sauce.  And it’s chock full of sweet peas.  Specifically, Libby’s Sweet Peas. (Don’t miss the Cansgiving Sweepstakes below!)

I love simple, frugal recipes like this one.  It rings in at about .60 cents per serving.  It’s easy to put together and there’s a good chance you have all the ingredients in your pantry.

Here’s what you’ll need to make Creamed Sweet Pea Casserole:

The steps are as easy as making white sauce with chicken broth as the base.  Sour cream gets stirred into the sauce, making it extra creamy.

Fold the sweet peas into the sauce.

All of this deliciousness gets poured into a greased casserole dish.  Finally, sprinkle french fried onions on top.  They give great flavor to the peas and crunch to every bite.
