Steps:
- 1. Rinse peas. Drain and place in Crock Pot.
- 2. Pour in chicken broth. Add water to bring the liquid just to the top of the peas.
- 3. Bury the ham bone down into the peas. (If you don't have a bone I use chunks of ham and it works just as well.)
- 4. Add the chopped onion, bay leaves, can of Rotel tomatoes, and garlic powder.
- 5. Cover and set Crock Pot to low for 8 hrs.
- 6. At that time, remove bone. Remove any meat from the bone. Cut into bite-sized pieces (you want about two cups total).
- 7. Add ham to the Crock Pot. Recover and continue to cook for 2 more hours.
- 8. Remove bay leaves. Serve with cornbread and enjoy!
- 9. Note: If you do not use a ham bone and have only chunks of ham then just cook on low for 10 hrs and increase the amount of ham to about 3 cups. I use a 6 qt Crock Pot and it is full when all ingredients are added. If you are having trouble with room in the pot you can adjust the liquid to less.
SLOW COOKER BLACK-EYED PEAS
Our family was visiting, and we went to Disney World on New Year's Day. I just had to have black-eyed peas before midnight. Make it easy, soak black-eyed peas in the slow cooker overnight. This is a little thinner, like a very rich soup. We really enjoyed it; hope you will too! Hot buttered cornbread and chunky applesauce are my favorites to serve with black-eyed peas.
