CREAMED PEAS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS.



Creamed Peas With Mushrooms and Onions. image

Yummy side dish. I love peas! Use low fat milk for a lighter sauce or half and half for a richer sauce. I usually use what I have on hand. Sometimes I add a small handful of swiss cheese and a small handful of grated parmesean cheese to make it even yummier! I also find canned mushrooms work well in this if you are not against all things canned :) This is from southern cooking.
