Grandma Brochier's Sweet Peas

My grandmother could make anything taste good--she could even get me to eat peas and LIKE them! This is my attempt to duplicate her sweet peas.

1 T. butter
2-3 green onions, sliced
1/2 c. white onion, chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic, pressed
  (or 1/8 t. minced garlic in a jar)
2 cans sweet peas
salt & pepper
pinch of sugar

6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled, or to taste


In a small saucepan, saute green onions, onion and minced garlic in a tablespoon of butter. Add 2 cans of sweet peas, with some of the liquid. Add seasonings and half the bacon. Bring to boil and then reduce heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes, covered, to combine flavors. Add the remaining pieces of crumbled bacon at the end because the other bacon will be very soft.
