  1. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe!
     
  2. We love blackeyed peas and this was a great recipe. The only change I made was to add a can of rotel tomatoes to up the heat level.
     
  3. Great flavor in the black eyed peas! I ran down to our cajun market and grabbed tasso, had to cut the bell peppers up tiny as my son thinks he can't eat them. lol. Turned out delicious. Thanks for sharing! Made for Susie's World Tour 2018.
     
  4. I can never find tasso so substitued smoked sausage. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it turned out excellent. This dish has a ton of flavor and is really simple to put together.
     
  5. I used part beef and part chicken stock. Also, we don't eat pork, but used organic smoked turkey bacon from Earthfare and these peas tasted heavenly! You have to try this one. YUM!! Thanks for the great recipe!
