I would not recommend this recipe. It was bland and the instructions were unclear.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Hoppin' John turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked the rice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

I'm not a huge fan of black-eyed peas, but this recipe changed my mind. The peas were so tender and flavorful.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. It was easy to make and the leftovers were even better the next day.

This Hoppin' John recipe is a keeper! It's packed with flavor and has just the right amount of spice. I especially love the addition of the andouille sausage.
