Homemade Creamed Peas are an old-fashioned side dish made with frozen peas in a simple creamy sauce. Perfect for weeknights, Easter, or holiday dinners!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp salted butter ($0.24)

1 Tbsp all-purpose flour ($0.03)

¾ cup heavy cream (room temperature, $0.93*)

1 tsp granulated sugar ($0.01)

12 oz. bag frozen peas (thawed and rinsed, $0.98**)

¼ tsp salt ($0.01)

⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.01)

Instructions

1 Gather your ingredients.

2 Rinse the frozen peas.

3 Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat and add flour to create a light roux, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes.

4 Add room temperature heavy cream to the roux and whisk to combine.

5 Once the cream mixture has thickened to the point where it’s still loose enough to drip from a spoon, but clings to the back of one without running off, you’re good! Lower the heat to medium-low.

6 Add sugar, salt, and pepper.

7 Add the thawed and rinsed peas.

8 Stir to combine and enjoy!
