Dinner: Betty's Blakemore Peas

Betty demonstrates how to make her version of "Blakemore" Peas. The recipe is adapted from a 40-year-old recipe created by a parson's wife in Betty's small town. It is colorful and delicious dish--and a vegetable that will appeal to kids, also!

Return the water and peas to boiling and boil for 5 minutes. Drain the peas through a colander in the sink, discarding the water and placing the drained peas back into the pot. In the meantime, make your Blakemore sauce. In a medium-sized skillet, melt 1/2 stick butter or margarine. Add 1 medium chopped onion, and saute the onion until clear. Add 1 cup cubed Velveeta cheese, a 2 oz. jar sliced pimientos, and a 10 3/4 oz. can of condensed mushroom soup. Blend all together and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and bubbly. Pour the Blakemore sauce over the cooked peas in the pot, until you have the consistency you like. You may have some sauce left over that you can use for another purpose. Pour the finished Blakemore peas into a nice serving dish, and serve while hot. This is a vegetable recipe that will become one of your standards, as it has in my family! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NEW Cookbook:  "Betty's Kitchen Cookbook:  2013 Recipes" (c) 2014 Also available:  "The Betty's Kitchen Collection:  Second Edition" (c) 2013 *Both can be ordered from http://www.amazon.com or http://www.createspace.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Betty's Website:  http://www.bettyskitchen.us ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other places to watch Betty's Kitchen: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/bettyskitchen/166973502092 Pinterest:  http://www.pinterest.com/bettyskitchen/bettyskitchen/ Twitter:  https://twitter.com/Myshine Google :  https://plus.google.com/108882445101872897307/posts ifood.tv:  http://www.ifood.tv/bettyskitchen Roku:  http://www.rokuguide.com/channels/betty's-kitchen​
