I made this to go with our Christmas dinner, everything was great, but to my surprise these peas were the big hit of the night. Peas?! How could this be you say? I have no idea, but my husband hates peas and took his obligatory "try me" bite to be polite and my jaw dropped when his eyes widened and he said "mmmmmmm! make these again anytime you want. My veggie and pea hating daughter said, "wow mom, these peas aren't that bad". Major major compliment coming from the girl who hates anything green. The only change I made was adding a bit more than 1 tsp of sage, adding some pimientos to the sauteed veggies and finishing the last 3 minutes or so with a shot of dry sherry and pat of butter. This is most definitely a keeper, thank you so much!

Wow! I used a package of frozen green beans instead of the peas and the flavor was just incredible. The second time I made these I added a can of sliced new potatoes (drained) and that was wonderful too. I will make these again!!! I will have to try it with the peas too.

Nice way to jazz up plain peas. I would use again.

There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said. This was really a nice recipe for an otherwise ordinary vegetable. Love the bacon/sage combo. Thanks for posting.

This was a really nice and different way to serve peas. The bacon and sage added a nice flavor.

A nice simple recipe for peas. We really enjoyed the sage (I used fresh shredded leaves) in it, and my bacon was a nice smokey flavoured one. Thanks Terese.

Wow! This is so full of flavor! Delicious take on peas that is easy, yet company worthy! Reduced the recipe by half and it definitely didn't suffer any ill effects. Thanks!

These were really good. I felt that the bacon flavour got a bit lost though. All in all, it was nice to serve boring peas in a new exciting way. I may try adding the bacon already cooked at the end. Thanks for expanding my horizons!

Really good for peas. From all the reviews I expected the flavours to be a bit stronger. I'll definitely make it again though.

Loved this recipe. At first I was iffy while cooking it because I felt it was missing something but then added 2 T of butter to the pan and loved the taste. Definitely will fix this again.
