Made this tonight. Very simple to make. It made eating green peas better. I used bacon from a bag (salad topping), it was good. I did think it was too dry. So next time I plan to add something to it, for the dryness. I liked this dish, I will make it again.

This recipe is so good, and super simple! If you're looking for an easy side-dish that goes with anything, this is definitely the recipe for you. My husband and I added extra bacon since we love bacon, and it was absolutely fantastic.
