Slow Cooker Spicy Black Eyed Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
• Heat bacon drippings in the same pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine chicken broth, peas, salt, and pepper in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add crumbled bacon, sauteed onion and garlic mixture, and any remaining bacon drippings.
• Cover and cook on Low until peas are tender, 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Put black-eyed peas into a large container with enough cool water to cover by a few inches; soak 8 hours to overnight.
• Put ham hocks into a stockpot with 6 cups water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until meat is falling off bone, about 90 minutes. Remove ham hocks and reserve for another use. Refrigerate the ham stock, 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain and rinse black-eyed peas thoroughly; transfer to a slow cooker. Bury one of the cooked ham hocks in the peas; add onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar.
• Skim congealed fat from surface of ham stock; discard. Pour stock into slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the peas by 1 1/2 inches.
• Cook on Low for 14 hours. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Pour the water or broth into a slow-cooker, add the bouillon, and stir to dissolve. Combine the black-eyed peas, Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base, Rotel Tomatoes with Green Chiles, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, jalapeno, ham, bacon, cayenne, cumin, black pepper, and honey; stir to blend. Cover the slow-cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the beans are tender. During last hour of cooking add roughly chopped kale or spinach. Serve with cornbread.

Steps:

• Pour the water into a slow cooker, add the bouillon cube, and stir to dissolve.
• Combine the black-eyed peas, onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, ham, bacon, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir to blend.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours until the beans are tender.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a skillet; cook and stir the orange bell pepper, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker; mix in the black-eyed peas, water, and vegetable base, stirring to dissolve the vegetable base. Stir in the chipotle peppers, about 1 tablespoon of the reserved adobo sauce (or to taste), liquid smoke, cumin, and black pepper.
• Cook in the slow cooker on Low until the black-eyed peas are very tender and the flavors are blended, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• Rinse black eyed peas, and follow package directions for quick soak (Boil for two minutes, then let sit for one hour). Rinse again, drain and place in slow cooker.
• Dissolve 3 chicken bullion cubes in a cup of hot water. (I usually put them in a coffee mug of water and microwave for about a minute and a half to dissolve.) Pour into the slow cooker. Add additional water if needed so that there is about 3/4 inch of liquid covering the peas.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir just to get them wet. Note: If using fresh instead of dried minced onion, the amount would be about 1/2 cup. I use dried because they are already minced very finely and my family doesn't even notice it's in there that way. I also use refrigerated minced garlic and crumbled bacon from costco. That way I always have the ingredients on hand. Add a little salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours. Taste and add additional garlic, salt and pepper if needed according to your preference. Serve with corn bread.

Steps:

• In 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix all ingredients except salsa.
• Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
• Stir in salsa. Cover; cook on High heat setting about 10 minutes or until hot.
