Tuesdays are dedicated to bringing you a Mighty Good Recipe!

I recently wrote about this recipe as part of my weekly crock pot feature on the Houston Press blog. Being New Year’s, I wanted to highlight a good black-eyed pea recipe. Bingo!  This one is very good.  And it’s so easy because you don’t have to pre-soak the peas.  Just give them a good rinse and toss in the pot with the other ingredients.  I fried the bacon beforehand, and used Canadian bacon instead of regular ham.  I brought this for my family’s Christmas dinner potluck and it seemed to be well received.  I’d consider throwing in another jalapeno if you like it spicy–this version was definitely mild.
