CBs Black Eyed Peas

I serve this traditionally on New Year’s Day with a pork roast, but we also enjoy it anytime we want a pot of peas! It is also delicious served over rice.

Step: 1

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step: 2

Place the dried peas, water, onion, tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and chili powder into a slow cooker, and stir to combine. Stir in the bacon and bacon grease, and set the cooker on High. Cook until peas are tender, about 4 hours. Season to taste with salt, and serve.
