Caz's Note:

I make this every New Years Eve so I can just turn on the crock pot New Years Day and relax. Especially since the cook time is so elastic. The original recipe came from a can of black eyed peas and has been modified.

I've been making this for years and its great! I made it for New Year's Day dinner tonight and everyone loved it. I always make it exactly as the recipe states. Plus, everyone could use a little extra help with prosperity for the year :)
