Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to prepare for baking.
Prepare the Potatoes and Peas: After boiling the red potatoes until tender, drain them and cut them in half. Place the halved potatoes in a greased baking pan. Sprinkle the frozen peas evenly over the potatoes, followed by the diced onion.
Make the Cream Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper, cooking until the mixture is well combined and bubbling. Gradually add the milk and evaporated milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
Assemble the Dish: Pour the cream sauce evenly over the potatoes and peas in the baking pan, making sure everything is well coated.
Top with Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the dish for added flavor and texture.
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the top is slightly golden.
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the comforting flavors of this creamy, hearty dish.
