Hot and Spicy Black-Eyed Peas are a popular New Years dish. These black-eyed peas have lots of smokiness from bacon and a little liquid smoke plus some heat from a jalapeno and chili powder.

Yum, my grandmother from Arkansas called this dish Buck and Bill and was and is a family favorite, it's a 5 for sure.

It turned out really well! I just soaked and cooked a lb of blackeyed peas, then doubled the other ingredients! I will make this again!

For a family of non-native-Southerners, with none of us being fans of more "traditional" kinds of black-eyed peas, we all *loved* this recipe. I made a few small tweaks. I used home-canned tomatoes, bacon "ends" found at the farmer's market (more flavorful than supermarket bacon, and, therefore, felt I didn't need the liquid smoke,) and added a tablespoon or so of tomato paste and brown sugar (since the home-canned tomatoes didn't have the "sweetness" of store-bought stewed tomatoes.) I didn't bother taking out the bacon and I simmered it for a little bit longer to further meld flavors and to thicken it. This will be the only black-eyed peas recipe I use on New Year's Day from now on! Thank you!

Donna, maybe you should stick to something you know of which you speak and not make unkind remarks about something you don't know.
My husband and I just had this recipe for dinner and these peas will be my New Year's standard. They were absolutely delicious! I couldn't believe it when I saw my husband take his FIFTH helping! They were THAT good!
Thank you Christin! Keep up the good work!

Donna,
 My Mama taught me, if you do not have any thing nice to say,
"Do Not say anything at all "
AND ALWAYS KEEP AN OPEN MIND!
It's a dang recipe!
 Really!!!
Try it! You might learn something new! and it just might surprise you.
