Creamed Peas with Pearl Onions image

My mother made this EVERY Thanksgiving of my life and it is a staple on my table every year. I rarely make it at other times, although I would certainly like it. Kids aren't generally a fan but all my adult children and family love this.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover peas. I always have some leftover peas after a party and this is a great way to use them up.

I added some cooked bacon to this dish and it was amazing. The bacon added a nice salty flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the peas.
