Notes
- You'll want to soak your beans for anywhere from 4-8 hours before you put them in the slow cooker. Soaking the peas helps them to cook faster. If you don't have time to soak your peas, you can still make this recipe; just be aware that it might take longer to cook.
- I use both a ham hock or bone and chopped ham in my crock pot black eyed peas for maximum pork flavor.
- You can use your ham bone from Christmas. Just toss it in the freezer after Christmas dinner!
