Thanksgiving Vegetable Sides with Country Crock & Giveaway

Have you started planning for your Thanksgiving dinner yet?

Last year was the first year that it was just the four of us for Thanksgiving, so I kept it simple with some  family favorites (although I did upgrade the traditional turkey to a turkey wrapped in bacon).  I made the kids' two favorite side dishes--a sweet potato casserole with pecans and deviled peas.

This year, Country Crock issued the challenge to make a Thanksgiving side and switch out the regular butter for Country Crock, since it offers 0 grams of transfat per dish.  Challenge accepted!  And the kids were more than happy to sample their favorite deviled peas for a regular dinner.

Now, trust me, this recipe sounds weird.  But it is seriously yummy and very easy to put together!

Deviled Peas:
3 cups fresh or frozen peas
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp chili sauce (or salsa)
2 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp butter (switch for Country Crock!)
1/2 cup cracker crumbs

• Layer peas evenly in bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole. 
• Combine next 4 ingredients in small bowl, spoon over peas. Spread evenly. 
• Layer egg on top, sprinkle with cheese. 
• For topping, melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in cracker crumbs. Sprinkle over peas. 
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
