Every New Year's Day we have these slow-cooked black-eyed peas to bring good luck for the coming year. &mdash;Dawn Legler, Fort Morgan, Colorado  

Black-Eyed Peas & Ham

(16 ounces) dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and sorted

onion,

sweet red pepper, finely chopped

bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

jalapeno

garlic cloves,

cumin

chicken bouillon granules

salt

cayenne pepper

pepper

water

cilantro,

rice

13g protein.  <B><b>Diabetic Exchanges</b>: </B>1-1/2 starch

Soak peas according to package directions.

Transfer peas to a 6-qt. slow cooker; add the next 12 ingredients. Cover and cook on low 5-7 hours, until peas are tender. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Serve with rice.

We added sour cream and left out the jalapeno.  We first served it with rice, which worked well because the broth was probably our favorite part.  When we reheated it, we no longer had rice and accidentaly discovered it was very yummy with crackers too.  Our one disappointment was that the ham pieces themselves lost all flavor in the cooking; seemingly having donated all to the broth.

This recipe was so good. Keep sending more recipes like this.

Definitely want to try this sometime, but for today it provided me with inspiration to whip up something similar in a hurry with stuff I had on hand. Used our leftover Christmas ham, canned great northern beans, canned diced green chilis, multi color sweet peppers, and leftover corn. Quick and delicious!

My husband and I love this dish!  Will definitely be having this again!!
