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.

My ears perked up when I heard someone mention a fried rice dish that involved ham and pineapple. Any recipe that involves cubed ham gets my attention right now, since I have so much in the freezer.
My family likes the ham/pineapple combo in recipes, but I admit that this sounded a little strange. But I was wrong. The fried rice was full of flavor and we licked the platter clean. No leftovers to fight over.
I based the recipe on Vietnam Fried Rice, but I used pineapple juice in addition to the soy sauce to season and flavor the dish. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Ham and Pineapple Fried Rice
I’m always amazed at the infinite possibilities for chicken, potatoes and carrots to be combined in a recipe. This variation is worthy of being repeated often.
If you have cooked chicken stashed away in your freezer, you’re only minutes away from having this dish oven-ready. (See this post for tips on cooking and freezing chicken.) Using left-over or instant mashed potatoes speeds things up even more.
My boys loved this recipe and feasted on several helpings each. Here’s what you’ll need to make it for your family: [Read more…] about Chicken Shepherd’s Pie
This is a good weeknight supper. There’s nothing fancy about it, but it’s good comfort food. I adapted the recipe from one I found in 365 Ways to Make Chicken. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Chicken Casserole with Corn and Peas
