    These Creamed Peas sure are a classic, homestyle recipe! There is just something special about those classic, old fashioned recipes that have been around for generations. I can just imagine then on an old, beat up recipe card with stains on it, handed down from grandma to daughter and then to daughter again!

    Here at Bubba Pie, we are all about Comfort Food. So, from time to time, we are lucky to run across some of these classic recipes and share them with you. From our Creamed Spinach, Creamed Corn or Pea Salad to Southern classics like these Black Eyed Peas or Smothered Okra.

    All these recipes have the same thing in common: they are easy, simple recipes with wholesome, homemade ingredients. It’s classic comfort food at it’s best.

    What Are Creamed Peas?

    Peas have often been a favorite here at our house. My daughter calls them “little green balls” and they are the vegetable that has surprisingly gotten little blowback when it appears on a plate during dinner.

    But Creamed Peas are even better! These peas are cooked on a skillet with broth and butter, then finished with a creamy, white sauce!

    Creamed Peas Recipe

    Like all recipes that have been tossed around America for decades, it seems like everyone has their own take on a Creamed Peas Recipe. Some people use canned peas, some use frozen (like us)! Some make more of a “roux” sauce and some use lots of cream and even cheese!

    Here at Bubba Pie, our version of this side dish is pretty simple and straight-forward with a light, creamy white sauce with hints of garlic and onion!

    Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:

    • 1 bag, 16 oz, frozen peas
    • 2/3 cup chicken broth (or use water)
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 tablespoon sugar

    Can You Use Fresh Peas for Creamed Peas?

    Yep! You can if you can find them! Using fresh peas to make creamed peas would work just fine. Just be aware, fresh peas may take a little longer to cook through. Make sure they are completely cooked in this recipe!

    What To Serve with Cream Peas?

    This easy, classic side dish goes with so many different meals! Some great options would be:

    • Homemade Shake n’ Bake Pork Chops
    • Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops
    • Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops
    • Bisquick Chicken Fingers
    • Slow Cooker Ham with Pineapple
    • Parmesan Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner

    Creamed Peas Storage

    Any leftovers  should be good in your refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also put them in freezer bags and keep them in your freezer for up to 4 months.

    Notes, Tips and Variations

    • Add a salty meat like bacon or ham chunks!
    • Add vegetables like carrots or pearl onions.
    • As mentioned above, add some nice, rich cheese.

    I hope you enjoy this recipe for Creamed Peas! Let me know how it works out for you in the comments section!
