This has been my go-to black-eyed peas recipe for a few years now. I modify it by using turkey bacon (instead of "real" bacon, I use Season All seasoned salt (instead of regular salt, 1 can of chicken stock (to replace one cup of water, and I also add one large jalapeno pepper and a table spoon of diced garlic for added flavor and kick! This dish is delicious by itself or paired with fried catfish or chicken.

Super easy and tasty! I soaked my beans over night and most of the day. Then cooked them for about an hour. I used a can of diced tomatoes and most of a small can of green chilies. I did add about 3/4 more water for the last 15 minutes. Turned out great!
Thanks Paula!
