Made this for New Years and it was great. I baked a ham the night before and used the ham bone along with some of the ham. Added the ham the last ten minutes of cook time. I actually served it on top of cornbread instead of rice. My kids liked it so much they were disappointed when the left overs ran out.

Although this recipe was easy, we found it to be lacking in flavor. Instead of a ham hock, I used cubed ham. I also let it cook in a slow cooker after sauteeing the vegetables. Good, basic recipe but will need more seasoning.

We add a diced jalapeno for some heat. Also, we use a smoked ham hock and substitute Chipotle Chile Powder (instead of Cayenne for a smoky flavor. Gives everything a good kick, too. For New Year's football games, ditch the rice and use the hoppin' john as chili for a different take on chili dogs topped with mustard and cheddar cheese. Mustard/collard greens (or a mix of the two, simmered with bacon make a great side for the hoppin' john chili dogs. Save the rice for leftovers.

I made this on New Year's Day for a group of (mostly male hungry football watchers and it was a huge success. I cooked the peas for 50-60 min instead of 40 and they were soft and creamy. It won over the few who were not black eyed peas fans. I only wish I had doubled the recipe...not enough left-overs ;-

Really good recipe for Hoppin John. My mother and grandmother made Hoppin John every year for New Years. Being from the south they believed it brought one good luck. They have passed on but I continue making this dish every New Years. Their dish was made with bacon and a bit different then this recipe. I decided to give this one a try and its similiar but with a bit more bite. My husband who is from the Midwest, had never had Hoppin John before he met me and loves it! I serve this with collard greens and green onions with salt. Very good!

This was so amazing - I would give it six stars if I could! I didn't have ham hocks, so I substituted adobo sauce to give it a bit of a smoky flavor, and it definitely gave it a little spice as well, which was great. A+ recipe! I will definitely be making this for more than just New Year's Day.

Easy to make and I got rave reviews on Near Year but the best compliment came this summer when my company requested I make this for the 4th of July! Wow, thanks Emeril!!!

I have made this recipe for at least 5 years on New Year's Day and it always makes my husband happy. I add jalapeno peppers for a little more heat. Making it today. It's great year round.
