Wonderful recipe. I did add a ham hock which I do for all dried beans. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.

This dish was awesome! We love blackeye peas in our house, and we usually make them the simple way, but this was so simple and it was so delicious! We have decided that we will make it this way from now on!!! I used bacon (I had a bunch left over from another dish) instead of the ham, but I can only imagine how great it's going to taste next time with the ham in it! Awesome recipe!!!
