"Traditional Southern fare. Uses dried beans, so it is time consuming....but that is one of the things I like about this recipe. Love to have something on the stove making the house smell tasty! 8 hour prep time is soaking time for the peas."

Made these delicious black-eyed peas for New Years. I made a couple of minor changes (I hope). I used a ham bone (leftover from a honey baked ham) and I used rotel tomatoes vs. regular stewed tomatoes -- just to spice them up. Delicious!

These were part of our New Year's Day. After soaking the dried peas I adapted the recipe to prepare in the crockpot. I cut the water to 6 cups and cooked on low for about 6 hours. Other than adding 3 cloves of garlic and eliminating the salt I made no changes to the ingredients when starting the recipe. At serving time I felt the peas could have used additional savory seasonings. I liked the tomatoes. pepper, and onions but the dish seemed to lack depth. We've enjoyed them and were happy to have a better BEPea dish.
