Lucky Black Eyed Peas with Rice & Bacon image

A light, easy dish for when you're ready to take a break from heavy meals. This recipe is supposed to serve 6 but it didn't go that far at MY table. No reason to stop at half the bell pepper - it could have used more. Also that "dash" of cayenne should be increased by quite a bit!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

This dish was a disappointment. The black-eyed peas were mushy and the rice was bland. The bacon was the only thing that had any flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

Easy and excellent recipe. I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great.
