Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo

People this is sooooooooooo good. I confess I used a can or ranch style pinto beans and a can of blackbeans with peppers as we do not care for blackeyed peas. But I knew by reading all the rest of the ingredients that it would be a hit. Wonder flavor and spiced just right with louisiana hot sauce. Add cornbread and your in heaven. Will do this many times for sure!

This was a very easy recipe to make and it made enough to feed my family. I didn't use the rotel tomatoes I used the Hunts with green chilis in them. I made cornbread to go with this. I will most certainly make this again (I made mine on the stove but next time I think I'll try the crockpot). Thanks for this money stretcher and tasty soup.

Excellent recipe. We used Earl Campbell's spicy hot links as the sausage and it was fantastic. This is my kind of meal on a cold winter day. We served jalapeno cheese grits with it, but a nice batch of cornbread would be a natural as well. Thanks for posting this. It will be made many times in our house, I'm sure.

This was excellent, turned out perfect, easy and tasted great. I couldnt locate black-eyed peas locally and was to sick to drive out of town so I used black beans and made homeade Rotel tomatos since they dont sell them here. My husband even called from his cell phone on his way back to work to mention how much he liked it again.

I made this in the slow-cooker, Rise, and it was fabulous. I used extra-spicy Rotel tomatoes and regular link sausage. That had just the right amount of heat for my family's taste. I did as you suggested and let everyone put however much rice they wanted in their bowl, then added the gumbo on top. Dang tasty. Thanks!!

Did not use any of the spicy things as we're not big fans of heat, and we enjoyed it without.

Nice and quick gumbo recipe to satisfy any hankerin' for some. I've made it twice -- once it was excellent; the other time it was a disaster. Recommendation to avoid the disaster -- check the labels on the canned items. I unwittingly picked up excessively salty versions, which ruined the taste of the overall recipe and made me parched for a few hours. I will definitely make this recipe again (it is good), but I will check the labels much more carefully next time.

I taught this in a casserole cooking class and it was a huge hit. Thanks for such a great recipe. Oh, I did drain the Rotel tomatoes to take away some of the extram spice.

OK, this was one of those recipes that I was truly on the fence about trying. I wasn't sure if my family would like the black eyed peas as much as I was hoping. I read the reviews many times over and decieded to "take the plunge" and make the dish. Oh my, I am so glad I did, my family really enjoyed this. DD#2 said it doesn't taste like beans, they (the black eyed peas) taste like the sausage. Ahhhhhh my little darling is broadening her horizons.....lol. I served this was white rice and a spinach salad. Perfect meal and didn't have to heat up the house either.....bonus. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.

Great recipe! I used andouille sausage and 1/2 the bell pepper and added celery. I served it over cornbread and it was a Hit!

I made a couple changes to the recipe and veganized it. I used regular black-eyed peas, veggie broth, diced tomatoes with jalapenos, and jalapeno salsa. I fried an onion, bell pepper, and celery in black pepper and cayenne pepper, and put this in the crockpot all day. I then added some vegan sausage links and brown rice. It was delicious, even better the next day. Thank you for this recipe.

I am always looking for ways to use smoked turkey sausage but this was too hot for us. All I used was rotel tomatoes & a can of chilis and my husband wouldn't eat it. I liked it, it's a good recipe, but not for the weak. I didn't have ranch beans so I used fresh frozen with the seasonings other have recommended (chili powder, onion powder and garlic). I'd like to try it agin with ranch beans and milder rotel!

I eliminated all of the hot peppers and used reduced fat turkey smoked sausage for the sausage links. Tasty and easy. Thanks.

Easy and yummy! It is hot, so I use peas w/o jalapenos. I've made it several times and everyone loves it!

This has become one of my favorite recipes--so easy and delicious. My husband has been asking for it again and again. I use black eyed peas without the jalapenos, as I'm not a fan of those, I haven't tried it with bell pepper yet, but I like it with plenty of celery. I like using hot links, but not a whole pound (to make the sausage stretch farther.) I serve it over rice.

As promised, VERY SIMPLE and tasty. To reduce fat, I used turkey sausgage (sweet Italian) and fat-free beef broth. Added frozen okra and three stalks of celery, chopped. Used plain BEPs but added plenty of jalepenos. Also used the Rotel tomatoes. Served with brown rice and corn bread for a big hit. A great crockpot recipe that I will absolutely make again. Thanks Rise!

This one got rave reviews from my family. I made it in the crock-pot too, and used rotel tomatoes because we like our spice. I also did as you suggested and added frozen okra for a more gumbo look and taste. This was a nice, hearty meal that I will serve often in my home. I served it with some Mexican cornbread and salad. Thanks for the recipe.
