This comforting Bacon and Peas Casserole combines the richness of bacon with the sweetness of peas for a satisfying meal everyone will love!

1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy, which should take about 8–10 minutes. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels, then chop it into small pieces.

3

In the same skillet, add the green peas and sauté for about 4 minutes.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed peas, chicken broth, cream, and half of the cheddar cheese. Add the chopped bacon, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

5

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the bread crumbs evenly on top.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

7

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
