Mmm, a little taste of heaven is in each bite of these Heavenly Creamed Peas. The bright, sweet peas are cooked until tender in a tangy and rich cream sauce, with just the right amount of seasoning. And then on top are clouds of crispy fried onions for crunch and a savory hit of flavor. Place Heavenly Creamed Peas next to steak or fried chicken and you'll find that it has more than earned its wings!
