Slow Cooker SAUCY GREEN PEAS & ONIONS
16 ounces frozen green peas, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning or similar seasoned salt
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
grating of nutmeg, optional
Place peas in crockpot with butter, onion, and seasoning. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours. Sprinkle peas with flour and stir gently. Add half-and-half (or use cream), cheese, and nutmeg. Cook another 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crock Pot Cooking Tip
To speed up cooking time, place aluminum foil under the crock pot lid. The foil reflects the heat back onto the food and keeps the heat in the crock pot.
When your recipe calls for vegetables, be sure to cut them into bite-size pieces for better cooking, vegetables can take longer to cook than meat in Crockpots.
