SLOW COOKER BLACK-EYED PEAS



Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Peas image

Our family was visiting, and we went to Disney World on New Year's Day. I just had to have black-eyed peas before midnight. Make it easy, soak black-eyed peas in the slow cooker overnight. This is a little thinner, like a very rich soup. We really enjoyed it; hope you will too! Hot buttered cornbread and chunky applesauce are my favorites to serve with black-eyed peas.

SLOW COOKER BLACK EYED PEAS



Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas image

This is pretty close to the way my mom used to make black eyed peas when I was a kid. I think she was trying to duplicate the way that my dad's mom made them for him. My family loves them, even the kids.

Provided by oriahma

Categories     Beans

Time 8h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) bag dried black-eyed peas
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup crumbled bacon
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes

Steps:

  • Rinse black eyed peas, and follow package directions for quick soak (Boil for two minutes, then let sit for one hour). Rinse again, drain and place in slow cooker.
  • Dissolve 3 chicken bullion cubes in a cup of hot water. (I usually put them in a coffee mug of water and microwave for about a minute and a half to dissolve.) Pour into the slow cooker. Add additional water if needed so that there is about 3/4 inch of liquid covering the peas.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir just to get them wet. Note: If using fresh instead of dried minced onion, the amount would be about 1/2 cup. I use dried because they are already minced very finely and my family doesn't even notice it's in there that way. I also use refrigerated minced garlic and crumbled bacon from costco. That way I always have the ingredients on hand. Add a little salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours. Taste and add additional garlic, salt and pepper if needed according to your preference. Serve with corn bread.
