The New Year has officially started, now that black-eyed peas have been soaked, and are on the stove! Smelling up the house, steaming the windows, and planning snacks for the rest of game day.

BEP's, plenty of bacon, onion, garlic, peppers, brown sugar, ROTEL, chicken broth, spices. See what happens in a few hours. Fingers crossed.

Looks dang good

The best.

My kind of BEP

That looks good Blank
Just put mine on a bit ago. Bacon, onion, celery and jalapeños.

You would have won a contest.

Nothing wrong with that.

Granny had us play this at her funeral. Hell with the rest of the world, do it your way! Nice job Blank!

Simmered on low for 4+ hours, perfection! Just enough chew to not be mushy and the bacon was great, hint of brown sugar and onion/garlic, and enough spice to still tickle your tongue and throat a few minutes later. The wife won't eat them, and after she tried it she had a full helping. My MIL is 89 years old, and has never had them before; she had seconds so I guess that's a win. With the leftover pork and a salad, it was great.

Those black eyed peas look legit. I would eat a big bowl of those.

2 times!!!

Would

Oh, heck yea.

What no cornbread???

Girls had French bread, my cornbread was there, but off picture!!!

That’s a spread sir

Looks dang good, pretty much the same way I make mine.

Big bowl and sweet cornbread muffins.
