Slow Cooker Creamed Peas, Potatoes, and Ham is a super quick and easy version of a hearty and comforting classic your grandma used to make!

I spend the entire summer outside hanging out with the boys, working in the yard, washing the car, and other fun activities. I always tell myself when school starts I will crack down and clean my house, take care three months worth of filing, and find my desk. I just can’t drag myself inside when it’s so nice out to do boring jobs like paying bills. Last week I locked myself in the office for three days straight. On days like this my family survives on no bake recipes like No Bake Caramel Cookies, No Bake Pumpkin Icebox Cake, and grilled meat and veggies, hello Grilled Zucchini Packets! One of the days I left the office and headed to the school to pick the boys up for piano lessons. That day I decided to make Slow Cooker Creamed Peas, Potatoes, and Ham! It was incredibly easy to make and the boys loved it!

First, dice all the veggies, ham, and herbs. Put them all in the slow cooker and add some seasonings.

Then give it a toss to make sure the whole thing gets coated in flour.

Always add cheese because it makes everything better!

Pour in a little chicken broth, you knew it was going to need some liquid right? Turn the slow cooker on and let it rip.

And butter because it make everything better too!

When I got home at night (and it’s was too dark to take pictures for my blog) I add peas, sour cream, and more cheese, and gave it a little stir. Trust me, you are going to love how easy this is!

I normally make creamed peas and potatoes by starting out with a basic white sauce and add boiled peas and potatoes. This slow cooker version was SOOOO much easier! Adding ham turned it into a hearty meal. My kids have been begging to take leftover to school for lunch. I’m pretty much hooked on this version of Slow Cooker Creamed Peas, Potatoes, and Ham ASAP! Everyone has time to stir a few frozen peas into the slow cooker at night right?
