Nothing says summer like an outdoor BBQ with friends and family. But no one wants to get stuck in a hot kitchen prepping your side items! So grab some Libby’s® Vegetable Pouches to create delicious, quick nutritious vegetables in a flash and get back to enjoying time with family and friends.  These pouches microwave in less than 60 seconds, meaning no pots, heating containers or lengthy prep time needed.  But even better than that, this recipe doesn’t require you to turn on the oven or microwave at all!

That’s right, this recipe is as simple as cutting up an onion and some cheese and just stirring it all together.  It doesn’t get much easier than that.  Seriously.  It takes the classic recipe and flips it right on its ear.

Now, I’ll admit, I’ve never been a huge sweet pea fan (I blame my great aunt for always making me eat them when I stayed with her), but I honestly love this salad.  Even if you don’t love peas, you have to love bacon and cheese right? Bacon and Pea Summer Salad with ingredients in background

So when you crank up the grill this summer, add a few side dishes to the menu that are quick and easy.  The less time you spend in the kitchen is more time you can spend with your family.  And we all know that’s what it’s really about.  Y’all enjoy!

      Canned peas will be softer than frozen peas.
