Ingredients

→ Main Items

 1 package (16 ounces) frozen peas, thawed or canned

 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped up

 4 to 6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled or 1 cup chopped cooked ham if you want

 1/2 cup chopped green onions or regular onions if you like

 1 cup shredded cheddar or any cheese you prefer

 1/2 teaspoon salt

 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds or 1/2 cup chopped celery

 A pinch of cayenne pepper

→ Sauce

 1/2 cup mayonnaise

 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

Grab a big bowl and toss together the peas, chopped eggs, bacon or ham, green onions, and shredded cheese.

Throw in the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, celery seeds or chopped celery, and cayenne pepper. Stir all that well so the flavors get mixed good.

In a separate bowl, blend the mayo and sour cream till smooth. Pour this on top of the pea mix and fold gently so everything gets coated.

Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour. This helps the flavors come together nicely before eating.

Notes

  1. This goes great as a barbecue side or for family get-togethers.
