Ingredients:

Serving

5 slices bacon, chopped
4 fresh garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 lb smoked jalapeno sausage, sliced
1 fresh jalapeno, top cut off
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (16 oz) package dried black-eyed peas, washed
1 (12 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
6 cups water
salt

Directions:

Soak dried peas in water overnight. This is important because peas can taste like dirt if not presoaked. Drain and rinse.
In a large pot, add peas, water, bacon, all the veggies, canned tomatoes, and spices.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Let cook for about 15 minutes and add the bouillon cubes.
Let simmer for about an hour. Add sausage. Cook until peas are tender. Check to see if salt is needed.
Serve with rice and corn bread.
