MAMA'S BLACK-EYED PEA CASSEROLE BY EMERIL
This is a recipe from Emeril Live during his "Football Contest" episode. It is really delicious. The only changes I made to it was to drain the diced tomatoes. The recipe doesn't state how many tortillas to use but I suggest using 5 on the bottom layer and 5 on the second layer. I used approx. 14 and that was to much for our taste. Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast): 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme Combine all ingredients thoroughly. Yield: 2/3 cup
