PEA POD CASSEROLE
This is a casserole I have been making since high school. I worked in the kitchen of the local hospital and this was something they served the employees in the cafeteria. It was a great base that I have "spiced" up and added additional vegetables to over the years. You may layer as much as you like...add water chestnuts, mushrooms whatever your heart desires. I just prefer to keep it simple. Over rice it's a great fast meal.

SHRIMP AND PEA POD CASSEROLE
I got this recipe from 2002 Betty Crocker "Casseroles and Slow Cooker Meals" booklet (they used to sell them by the check stands at grocery stores). I used sherry and Swiss cheese in mine. My family deemed it a 'keeper'.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350°. Spray 13x9x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
- 2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in large skillet over low heat. Cook mushrooms and garlic in butter, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, sherry ad broth until smooth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in Fontina or Swiss cheese until melted; remove from heat.

- 4. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender pea pods: Look for pea pods that are bright green and have a slight snap when you bend them. Avoid pods that are wilted, yellow, or have brown spots.
- Blanch the pea pods before cooking: Blanching helps to preserve the pea pods' color and nutrients. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pea pods and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the pea pods to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to pea pods, you can add other vegetables to your casserole, such as carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is a classic complement to pea pods. You can make a simple cream sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, adding flour, and whisking until smooth. Then, gradually whisk in milk until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- Season the casserole well: Be sure to season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the vegetables and the sauce.
- Top with a crispy topping: A crispy topping, such as bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or grated cheese, will add texture and flavor to the casserole. Sprinkle the topping on the casserole before baking.
Conclusion:
Pea pod casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up fresh pea pods and other vegetables, and it is a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. With its creamy sauce, crispy topping, and tender vegetables, pea pod casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
