I love Black Eye Pea, and this recipe a Paula Deen Recipe is excellent! It’s full of flavor unlike a lot of Black Eyed Pea Recipes. You can’t go wrong with this one!! It’s kicked up!
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 (16-ounce) package dried black-eyed peas, washed
- 1 (12-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups water
Directions
- In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble, and set aside to use as a topping for the peas.
- Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until tender. Add the peas, diced tomatoes and green chiles, salt, chili powder, pepper and water.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peas are tender.
- Add additional water, if necessary.
- Serve garnished with crumbled bacon.

I've never tried black-eyed peas before. I did just make a soup for the freezer that has black-eyed peas, but I haven't tasted it yet. Trying to catch up on some freezer cooking! By the way, are you SURE that's a Paula Deen recipe? There isn't any BUTTER in the recipe! 🙂 haha! If the black-eyed peas are a success in the soup…I may just have to try this recipe next! Thanks for sharing!

LOL Good one Alison! Black eyed peas are very much a southern thing. My husband hates them, but then again he's a yankee lol!! It's a tradition to have black eyed peas and cabbage on New Years Day in the south. Black eyed peas for good luck and cabbage for wealth.
