These are delicious. I took the chef’s advice by parboiling the veggies and then finishing them in a baked casserole - they were done after about 10 minutes in the oven. Next time, I think I will bump up the sauce ingredients a little - I think the dish would benefit from just a tad more cheesy sauce. But this one's a keeper.

Had a request for a way to cook these other than microwave. I tried them the in the oven tonight, as follows: Par boil the peas and onions, drain, put them in an ovenproof casserole. In a saucepan , melt and mix the cream cheese with the milk, pepper and garlic, over low heat, bring to just below boil, stirring. Pour over the peas and onion, stir lightly. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes,'til onions are tender. Serve sprinkled with croutons. Turned out very good!!(better than in the microwave, I thought)
