This recipe was a disaster. The peas were undercooked and the bacon was burnt.

I didn't like this recipe at all. The peas were mushy and the flavor was bland.

These black-eyed peas were a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover bacon and black-eyed peas.
