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.

3 smoked ham hocks, or more to taste
6 cups water, plus more as needed
1 onion, chopped small

Steps:

Put black-eyed peas into a large container with enough cool water to cover by a few inches; soak 8 hours to overnight.
Put ham hocks into a stockpot with 6 cups water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until meat is falling off bone, about 90 minutes. Remove ham hocks and reserve for another use. Refrigerate the ham stock, 8 hours to overnight.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the black-eyed peas and the corn.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I used bacon in this recipe instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from the holidays, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my black-eyed peas turned out really dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had a hard time finding black-eyed peas at my local grocery store. I ended up having to order them online.

The black-eyed peas were a bit too mushy for my liking. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still really good. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
