Don’t let the number of ingredients scare you. It’s basically just bacon or ham, black eyed peas, and veggies over rice.
This version says to strain the cooking liquid (step 4). Sometimes I like leaving it in and eating it as more of a stew with cornbread (no rice).
Gotta eat it on the new year! As the article says. I just make mine in the slow cooker though, so it’s ready whenever I get up!
Making it with leftover Christmas ham is how I usually do it.
