Comforting Creamed Peas and Carrots image

This is a holiday tradition in our house, usually served on Christmas. Even those who don't care for these vegetables seem to like this tasty side dish. I also like it because it is fast, and it is prepared on the stove top, which helps free up the desperately-need holiday oven!
