Black eyed peas are a great comfort food and can be made into many different, delicious meals. Not only are these great as a side dish, but I have used them to make my black eyed tacos, added them in burritos, and added them to salads also!
Black eyed peas are simple to make and there are many different ways to go about cooking these. I tend to make all my beans pretty much the same way. As a matter of fact, I have some pinto beans soaking as I type this blog post! We love our beans, whether they are made in the crock pot or on the stove, beans are delicious, healthy and loaded with nutrients.
So, grab yourself some black eyed peas, and make a big batch today! They are, oh so good!! I have been craving black eyed tacos again so it’s time for another batch.
- 2 lbs black eyed peas
