The black-eyed pea, black-eyed bean or goat pea, a legume, is a subspecies of the cowpea, grown around the world for its medium-sized, edible bean. The common commercial variety is called the California Blackeye; it is pale-colored with a prominent black spot. In the American South there are countless varieties, many of them heirloom, that...

Garlic powder is ground, dehydrated garlic. It is a very common seasoning. Applications include pasta, pizza, and grilled chicken. Garlic salt is simply salt plus garlic powder. (Pre-made products usually include an anti-caking agent.) Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt.

Place the bacon into a large skillet, and fry it over medium heat.

Once the bacon starts to brown( do not drain the bacon grease), add in the collard greens.

Cook until the collards are tender, then add in the onions.

Sprinkle in the seasonings.

Next add in rice, and fold in.

Toss in the black-eyed peas, and carefully fold everything until well combined.

Serve and enjoy!

Great recipe!  Very good, but word to the wise, never eat chicken or other poultry on New Years Day because your luck will fly away.

Thank you for this yummy recipe! We made it today and it will now be our traditional New Year's Day meal, as well as an easy go-to meal during the rest of the year.  We paired it with some cornbread and everyone was happy! Happy New Year!!!

Hey y’all! Try my Hoppin’ John recipe this New Year’s Day to help bring you luck and wealth in the coming year. https://iheartrecipes.com/hoppin-john-recipe-southern-new-years/

Hoppin’ John is a traditional Southern New Year’s recipe that is said to bring a prosperous year. The black eyed peas resemble coins, and the greens resemble currency. Add a side of cornbread to represent gold. I will be having my fair share of Hoppin’ John because I sure need it, LOL!

My Hoppin’ John recipe can be made in under 30 minutes. I wanted to keep it simple and easy, so I used serious shortcuts. Fry up some chopped bacon. Add in frozen collard greens. I like using the frozen collard greens because they’re already washed and chopped, and they really keep the cooking time down. Add in diced red onions (or you can use white or yellow onions instead). Add in your seasonings and rice. Black eyed peas are the star of the show, and those are added in last. To keep this recipe around 30 minutes, I use canned black eyed peas. Be sure to drain and rinse them, y’all! Stir until well combined and heated through. Believe it or not, that is it. Serve with chicken and a side of cornbread, and enjoy the year ahead!
