Instructions

Boil the peas for 10 minutes in water and then strain out the water.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté for 10-12 minutes, until the bacon renders its fat. Transfer to the insert of a slow cooker.
Add the peas, broth, tomatoes, oregano, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 8 hours, until the peas are soft.

Notes

Store the crockpot Black-Eyed peas in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will stay good for up to 5 days. To store, place them in your freezer and you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight if frozen, then warm them in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a microwave-safe dish, stirring occasionally, until they are warm.
