PEA POD CASSEROLE
This is a casserole I have been making since high school. I worked in the kitchen of the local hospital and this was something they served the employees in the cafeteria. It was a great base that I have "spiced" up and added additional vegetables to over the years. You may layer as much as you like...add water chestnuts, mushrooms whatever your heart desires. I just prefer to keep it simple. Over rice it's a great fast meal.

SHRIMP AND PEA POD CASSEROLE
I got this recipe from 2002 Betty Crocker "Casseroles and Slow Cooker Meals" booklet (they used to sell them by the check stands at grocery stores). I used sherry and Swiss cheese in mine. My family deemed it a 'keeper'.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350°. Spray 13x9x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
- 2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in large skillet over low heat. Cook mushrooms and garlic in butter, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, sherry ad broth until smooth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in Fontina or Swiss cheese until melted; remove from heat.
- 3. Stir pasta, shrimp and pea pods into mushroom mixture; pour into baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and almonds.
- 4. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Tips:
- Fresh pea pods are best for this casserole, but frozen pea pods can be used in a pinch. If using frozen pea pods, thaw them completely before using.
- Be sure to trim the ends of the pea pods before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from getting tough.
- Don't overcook the pea pods. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the casserole will be less creamy.
- Serve the casserole immediately after it's baked. It's best when it's hot and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Pea Pod Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with fresh pea pods. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
