Best Aunt Squishys Peas N Cheese Recipes

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT LEMON AND CHEESE PEAS

Steps:

• In a pan on medium-low heat, add the olive oil (or butter), garlic and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, so the garlic and zest can steep without browning, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few more grinds of black pepper than you normally would. Move the contents of the pan around a bit more while cooking, until the thyme is darker in color and the pan is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
• Add the peas and toss to warm and coat, about 4 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and top with the cheese.

• In a stock pot or very large skillet combine ground beef, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and basil. Cook on high heat stirring frequently until beef is browned and well broken up.
