Creamed Peas

Ingredients:

• 1 lb package of frozen petite peas
• 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup of finely diced sweet onion or shallots

2. Gradually whisk in the half and half. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, and nutmeg.
3. Add the frozen peas to the saucepan, mixing until they are coated with the sauce.
4. Cook the mixture over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until the peas are just tender. Stir occasionally during cooking.
5. Serve the creamy peas immediately. Enjoy!
