Instructions
- Soak the black-eyed peas overnight in water and then drain off the excess water.
- Heat a dutch oven over medium high heat. Add in the diced bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy (10-15 minutes).
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the diced onions into the pans and sauté the onion in the bacon grease until the onions are soft and translucent (7-10 minutes).
- Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- Stir in the black-eyed peas, chicken broth, Creole Seasoning and bay leaves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 60-90 minutes (stirring occasionally) until the peas are tender (easily mashed with a fork or spoon).
- Remove from heat. Remove the bay leaves and stir in the cooked bacon. Then the black-eyed peas are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Remove any debris from the dried peas until adding them to the pan.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
