Buttery Garlic and Bacon Peas will change the way you think about peas! They are simple to make and explode with flavor! These are a favorite side dish on the farm!

Buttery Garlic & Bacon Peas make an easy and extra flavorful side dish!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

This post is going to be a short one. All my boys are out helping the neighbor take some straw bales off the roof of his potato cellar. It’s a huge building where potatoes are stored during the winter until they can be sold in the spring. Before my boys get home I need to correct three math assignments, make lunches for tomorrow, finish dinner and payroll, change the laundry and set the table. That means I don’t have a whole lot of extra time to think of descriptive sentences to sell you on these amazing peas. So…these are the important words you need to know about these peas. BACON…BUTTER…GARLIC…PARMESAN CHEESE…and I guess peas! You should be sold!

Super simple and extra flavorful side dish!  little Dairy on the Prairie

You know I live a million miles from the grocery store? Okay, it’s not really a million miles but it is about 50 miles. It seems like I’m in town all the time, but find myself running out of time to do my shopping. Fresh veggies are a bit of a luxury.  I think that’s why I buy frozen veggies by the dozens! Seriously, I bet I have 12 bags of frozen veggies in my freezer right now.

You will never think of peas the same way again! Butter, bacon, garlic and Parmesan give green peas a whole new makeover!

This side dish is one that nobody complains about. Usually when the kids see anything green that resembles healthy food, the complaining begins. These peas pop with flavor thanks to bacon, butter and garlic, and of course cheese!

Garlic and bacon make these peas pop with flavor! A favorite side dish here on the farm!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

I love peas anyway, but these peas are over the top! I love serving them next to grilled chicken, meatballs or any kind of pasta!

I can’t wait for you to try these peas! You are going to love them. By the way, they couldn’t be easier to make either!

      Thanks for your kind words Lori! If there was every a way to get kids to eat veggies it has to be bacon right?

    I don’t know what a cup of bacon might be? Raw bacon, or cooked? Maybe cook a cup of raw bacon until crispy? Thanks.

      Hi Judy! I use a cup of cooked and crumbled bacon although the measurement doesn’t have to be exact. In fact, when I make bacon I always make extra to use in recipes just like this. I just throw in whatever I have! Just remember with bacon…more is better!

    Thanks

      You could make them them ahead of time and reheat them just before serving. Sometimes after peas have been cooked they get a little wrinkly looking but still taste fantastic!
