Belgium Peas

  1. Preparation: Lay five pieces of bacon in an 8X8" GLASS brownie pan. Microwave for five minutes. Remove just the bacon and drain it on a paper towel. While pan is still in the miccrowave, lay down five more pieces and cook for 4 1/2 min. Drain. Lay down five more pieces and cook for 4 minute, drain. Repeat, taking off 10 seconds for every layer until all the bacon is cooked. Set aside to cool.
  2. -Dice and sautee onions in one stick of butter in a large spaghetti pot on med heat for five minutes, stirring constantly. If your butter turns black at any point, meaning you burnt the butter, start completely over for it will ruin the taste of the recipe.Turn heat down to Med-Lo, add three heaping table spoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and one more stick of butter. Wait for the butter to melt, add all the peas. Stir lightly scraping up the butter on the bottom to coat all the peas. It should look like wax by now. Turn the heat up slightly, just below Med-High. Provided the bacon is entirely cooled, crush it up over the pot. Big chunks are O.k.
  3. This is the important part. You have to stir the peas the entire time until they come to a boil or the whole bottom WILL burn from the wight of the peas. After it boils, you can turn it down and cook it for 20-30 minutes on Med-LO, only stirring it two to three times, you down want to smash the peas by turning them to much after they are no longer frozen. After the allotted time, turn the fire up just a tad to bring it back to a full boil, microwave two cups of milk for 1 min 15 seconds or until HOT. Add to it- two heaping tablespoons of either cream starch or flour. Stir it with a fork and mash most of the lumps out of it.
  4. Pour it into the pan of boiling peas. Turn the fire off and stir for one minute.
  5. Vualah!
