Crock Pot Black Eyed Peas And Ham Recipes

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.

Steps:
