Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans black eyed peas or 2 bags of frozen + salt to taste
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 16 ounces diced ham

  • 2-3 stalks of celery diced
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. You can either dump all the ingredients into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-12 hours, or combine everything in a stock pot on the stove, bring to a boil, and reduce heat and cook for about an hour.
  2. Serve over rice, and with a side of cornbread.
  3. The boys all add a generous splash of hot sauce.
