This is the recipe that our family really likes. It sounds weird, but give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. I originally got it out of a magazine back in the 80's. It might have been Woman's World, but I can't say for sure.
Pea Casserole
2 cans of peas, drained
2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
2 cups (or less) shredded cheese (cheddar or colby jack are good)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Optional topping of bread crumbs toasted in a little bit of butter to sprinkle on top
Preheat oven to 350. Layer in the order given, spreading the mushroom soup across the top of the casserole all the way to the edges. You can make the optional topping of breadcrumbs or use a bit of the shredded cheese as a topping or none at all. Bake for 30 minutes or until nice and bubbly at 350 degrees.
I know the hard boiled egg seems like an odd ingredient, but it really does pair well with the peas. This used to be the "other" casserole that the family requested in place of or in addition to the old stand by of green bean casserole. Now they are happy with either one.

Have you ever added a protein (like chicken or tuna??)? It really does sound like a good dish!!
Yum!!! A different way to eat peas. I know what you mean about Hancocks of Paducah - it normally takes four to five weeks for orders to get to Australia. I thought that was just international though, so you might be luckier. The last package I had went via Geneva - it had Swiss stickers on it! What???
