Number Of Ingredients 17

HOPPIN' JOHN
1 lb dried black-eyed peas, soaked
1 large white onion, diced
2 stalk(s) celery, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 tsp garlic, minced
1-2 c ham, diced
32 oz chicken broth
1-2 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
1-2 Tbsp cajun seasoning blend
1 bay leaf
4 slice bacon
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 bunch green onion, diced
RICE
3-4 c white rice, prepared

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the soaked beans (soak overnight), white onion, celery, red bell peppers, garlic & ham in a large crock pot.
  • 2. In a bowl, whisk the chicken bouillon granules and Cajun seasoning into the chicken broth. Pour into the crock pot and stir to combine the ingredients.
  • 3. Add one bay leaf, pushing it down into the liquid until it is sumerged.
  • 4. Lay the four strips of bacon over combined ingredients, side-by-side. It's okay if they sink.
  • 5. Cook on high 7-8 hours (or low 4-5 hours), until the beans are tender. Discard the bay leaf and rendered bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary (add salt & black pepper to taste).
  • 6. Serve over white rice, garnished with a sprinkle of green onion.
