3 Easy Microwave Vegetable Side Dishes For Busy Moms
As a busy mother and wife, I don't always have an hour to spend making our nightly dinners. At times, I will do my main dish and then do a microwave vegetable side dish to compliment it.
The following 3 recipes are made from common every day ingredients and take less than 15 minutes from prep time to finish.
Buttered Peas
20 oz. bag frozen green peas, thawed
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
4 tablespoons butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste
In a microwave-safe casserole dish, combine the thawed green peas, can of celery soup, melted butter, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the bread crumbs and microwave heat on high setting for 8 minutes or until ingredients are heated through.
Sweet Buttered Carrots
1 lb. carrots
1/4 cup tap water
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Wash and peel your carrots; slice them down to 1/4" thick rounds. Place carrots in a 1 quart microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup of water. Microwave on high setting for 7 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in the butter, brown sugar and dill. Place back into the microwave and heat for an additional 3 minutes on high.
Cream Style Buttered Corn
2 standard-sized cans cream style corn
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, well beaten
6 pats of butter, softened
In a microwave-safe baking dish, mix together the cream corn, sugar, salt, cornstarch, milk and beaten eggs. Dot the pats of butter on top and place in the microwave on high power for 4 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
