I have been making these Southern black-eyed peas for years and years, and they are always a big hit for family dinners! Don't skip the cumin, which is the "secret" ingredient.

I've never made black-eyed peas before, but this recipe made it easy. They turned out great! I served them over rice, and they were a hit with my family.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the smoked turkey and ham hocks. They were still really good! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make up for the lack of meat. I will definitely be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my black-eyed peas turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I cooked them for too long?

I made these black-eyed peas for my family, and they loved them! They were so flavorful and comforting. I especially liked the addition of the cornbread crumbs. They added a nice crunch to the dish.

These black-eyed peas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices. Otherwise, they were easy to make and had a good texture.

I'm not usually a big fan of black-eyed peas, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! These peas were delicious. They were smoky, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making these again.
