[@glynismorris2196]

I so envy your wife! She got a human teddy bear that cooks! Paradise on earth!!

[@marilynbrown1833]

I'm sure his wife knows it.

[@reibierobster7549]

Just as AB said if your mouth ain't watering, I noticed that my mouth was indeed watering

[@stanleywilliams2023]

Mine too!!, lol

[@toddglasscock6133]

AB is the only place I come to learn how to do black eyed peas

[@Melanin_Mel4]

Shoot ANYTHING ! I LOVE the Mac and cheese !

[@Macctenamo]

My mom's ain't here no more but I'm sure she would approve of this,,,blessings y'all!!!

[@Surgical02]

This will be my third year making this recipe for New Years dinner, my family won't accept anything less! Thanks AB!

[@JessicaS620]

Do u soak ur beans overnight? His recipe says to use dry beans but the video looks like they were soaked. Thx in advance

[@Surgical02]

@JessicaS620 I usually do the 'hot flash method he describes in this video, but this year I soaked the beans over night... I'll let you know tomorrow!

[@suewalker6636]

Yum. Making me miss my grandma and her southern cooking!!!!!!

[@msethel8847]

Thanks! I have some black-eyes soaking was we speak. Thanks for the thickening tip! You ROCK, AB!

[@determineddiva5402]

Learned something new with the hot flashing of the beans. Never heard of that trick until today. I always learn something new when I watch your videos.

[@jaytee2642]

That's a standard method of quick soaking beans.🙂 It's on the side of the bag of most bags of beans I've ever seen.👍🏻

[@NeeCeeStar]

I didn't know either. I will definitely be doing this more often.

[@TheEagleslover]

This is it! I’m so glad to see how you teach folks to use their crockpots. Given how hot it’s been it’s a great way to make a meal without heating up the kitchen. Tip for folks if you cook a ham over the holidays keep your ham shank in the freezer and you’ll have it available to make your beans. Great job AB!

[@mamat1213]

Omg tysm for this suggestion I saved some ham from Easter and I’m gone do just this!!!

[@marriejames01]

I use smoked Turkey. I stay away from 🐽.

[@deborahlindsey9369]

Yes!! I make the best Lima Beans, Greens, String Beans and Blackeyed Peas with the leftover shank. Enjoy your next pot.

[@deborahlindsey9369]

Eagleslover I'm new to the channel. Sending reply is not my best. Sent you a response hope you are able to find it

[@DrJohn493]

For anybody that grew up in the rural south of the 50s and 60s, this is what sustained us. This recipe brings back so many memories of picking blacked eyed peas in the garden, shelling them in front of the TV with a Dizzy Dean/Pee Wee Reese called baseball game on, helping in the kitchen in the afternoon, and then enjoying the peas and cornbread for supper. Sometimes combined with southern fried chicken or slice of ham. I still grow/pick/and enjoy black eyed or pink eye/purple hull peas to this day using the techniques demonstrated in this video. 😋😋😋

[@WilliamsPinch]

You had a good life ❤

[@aquillakelly5010]

You never steered me wrong yet..I had a crazy work week..but ima make this and relax today on my off day!!! My boys and I gonna go in...thank you from savannah ,ga

[@SunnyIlha]

[@lamka04]

Happy 2023 Folks!!!!!! Blessings to AB and all!

[@kdubbster]

I appreciate your no nonsense straight to the point approach with a sprinkle of secret tips to your recipe vids. Thank you

[@Herb850]

I made your easy black eyed pea’s recipe, I used smoked turkey wings. My family loved every bite. Looking forward to try your other recipes. Thank you

[@djmistadrew70]

Man I just made this recipe step by step and I'm convinced that these are the best black eyed peas I ever had they taste like my grandma made them. That tip about mashing them to make it creamy absolutely perfect it was a game changer for me. I made the black eyed peas, fried cabbage, baked chicken and cornbread. Thank you so much for this recipe peace and love....

[@jemsmom97]

Yum!! 😋

[@kindredessex3827]

My grandma used to make black eye peas, tuna, and corn bread. It was an amazing combination. She served it with apple sauce too. It's a struggle meal but maaaan so good

[@gwen8859]

Green onion on the side with a hot pepper to nip on is good with peas and greens! Love that hot water corn bread with both dishes!

[@marinashear3818]

If only I could crawl through this screen and grab a bowl of these!!! OMG, it looks so good!

[@tammi67able]

I can’t lie this are the best blacked peas I’ve ever eaten!! Definitely soul food! Thank you and God bless you!

[@LealerJennings]

Chef AB you’re making my favorite soul food Homemade black eyed peas and I wish I had for my birthday on January 22,2024 I will be 65 years old in Jesus Name Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@Herb850]

I would love to learn to cook some awesome greens, my friend used to cook them for me but he passed away. Have a great recipe, please share it with us. Thank you

[@DChristine72]

My dad would eat the green onion the same way. This is how I grew up eating black eyed peas. We’d also have fried cornbread.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

👏🏽👍🏽💯🤤

[@stephaniecline3669]

First time cooking this thank you for the simple step by step it turned out amazing

[@emilythurman5040]

Looks delicious! Going to follow your recipe for New Year’s Day ❤. Thank you for sharing such amazing dishes!

[@andregreen2442]

Every dish you make is on point thanks brother

[@linnie1010]

Love it ….I use the crock pot too …..but not as often ….please …give us more crock pot recipes …. I love all your recipes

[@oldmech619]

I made this once for my family here in California. Yep, I was the only one eating it. This video does bring me back my momma p good cooking. Thanks

[@karengilbert1322]

I add a can of Fire Roasted Rotel to my black eyes and purple hulls. Served with my Mexican cornbread. I use ham hock.

[@jaymac8496]

That’s sounds fye🔥🔥🔥

[@urielgarcia2616]

What’s Mexican cornbread?

[@ItsjustYouTube01]

Purple hulls!!! 😂😅 I laughed so hard. I have not heard that term in over 20 years. They are good, though!!

[@sawboss5794]

The hulls are good but no to Rotel.

[@camillathemillticket6149]

We don’t care

[@jemsmom97]

Nothing makes me happier than when I accidentally find I have all the ingredients to make your recipe! Ham bone with plenty of ham leftover from Easter in the freezer and dried beans in the pantry. Never had ham and beans with Black Eyed Peas and I've never used the slow cook function on my instant pot, but I know it's gonna be delicious!!

[@annzamora6943]

I have never made black eyed peas with onion softened in butter. I usually use bacon grease. But I'm going to to try it yhe next time I cook them.

[@Sherrie58]

Thank God for my crockpot. Since the heat has been terrible in Georgia, my crockpot has become my best friend. I just decide on my meals for the week and prepare it in my crockpot. I don't have to worry about standing over a hot stove and making the house warmer on those extra hot 3 digit days when the air conditioner is working overtime. By the way, I use a variety of smoked meats for seasoning. I use smoked pig tails, smoked turkey and also smoked ham hicks with a little Mrs Dash and sometimes, chopped onion. We have to use wisdom when it comes to cooking and doing laundry on these super hot days. Thank you for such great ole fashioned recipes that's super delicious. 🍴 😋 😋

[@angeljackson9507]

Making these tomorrow with fried cabbage hush puppies and pork ribs! Haven't ate like this since last Thanksgiving! By the way you're background music 🎶 is everything!❤

[@dianashandmadecreations7348]

I have never been able to eat black-eyed peas till now, I am so happy I found you on KZbin and decided to try your recipe because I can finally enjoy eating black-eyed peas. Thank you!

[@dylanhill1640]

Bringing in 2023 with this delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing your passion for cooking, AB.

[@sharonraquel2669]

Yummm.....I cain't WAIT to fix this. Thank you!!! Happy New Year!

[@kikiblue9924]

I could eat some good beans everyday all day! With a little bit of rice and collards... Irresistible!!

[@antwonettemayberry8481]

My husband is your to cook this time day!!!! 😊. Thanks for teaching the community.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Bowen1968TRDL]

I love any kind of dry beans especially with rice and cornbread my kind of eating.I learned a tip today to use a broth instead of water.

[@maureenmackey4879]

Oh my. I’m in Canada. And I love my black eyed peas. Love love love ‘em!!!!

[@johnettamcconnell5492]

Thanks for showing the thickening trick. I love hot water cornbread 😋

[@lyndawarren1288]

Chef thanks for showing tricks of mashing peas to thicken, smoked ham shank!

[@peacefullove2078]

I didn't know about hotflashing the beans. I will try that. Thank you. 👏🏾

[@theresawalls2473]

AB I cooked my peas today and I just want to tell you thank you for the recipe.....they were good!!!!

[@blackbeauty1073]

I can make all my beans have a thick gravy to them that you would need a biscuit to clean up the plate. No thickening needed. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamessanders7408]

I'm about to try this. It looks good

[@wilmashelton6215]

My father would cut a chunk of onion to eat with his peas.And i eat my peas the same way😀 have a blessed day

[@jaytee2642]

THIS is what I'm looking for! I saw another recipe by Cowboy Kent but he put in a bunch of stuff that wasn't exactly traditional (imo). I do love most of his cooking, though, so don't think I'm bashing The Cowboy.🤗 I wanted the BASICS, so I came to you...and you did NOT disappoint.👍🏻 Happy New Year!🥳

[@fluidsc_]

South Carolina native here... grew up in the ghetto in Columbia. I have had a lot of black eyed peas from the south... your recipe is pretty much the real deal. I have seen a LOT of people who just don't know how to cook this stuff...your collard greens and these black-eyed peas hit it. If you want to try a little bit of low-country flair, dice a raw onion and throw it on top of your bowl of beans. Try with with the raw onions ;) I am just to where you throw it in th ecrock pot...curious to see how you finish these. :)

[@fluidsc_]

hahahah... just hit where you say you guys add green onion...it's so good. you are the real deal, bro...

[@mynameis_d5844]

I’ve never made black eyed peas before, so I did your recipe….. ohhhhhh myyyyyyy this is the best thing ever, I just used some hickory bacon instead of the ham hock and I added some mushrooms and a little red bell pepper too, WOW!!! Thanks so much! Absolutely DELICIOUS

[@denisemarshall4954]

Lawd lawdy I love me some blackeye peas the only thing missing is those okra place on top and some honey cornbread going in for the kill BOOM 💥

[@sharon4951]

I knew to come here to AB for my beans for 2023! Happy New Year yall!!!

[@gigilarson2151]

Southern cooking is the best food

[@lynettemartin9555]

Looks delicious, i just smash some of the beans on the side of the pot and stir until i get the consistency that I want.

[@ohdontchaknow]

Amen, why dirty another dish?

[@tinag8725]

AB I made these Black Eyed Peas but I had smoked turkey legs so I used that but I did use your thickening technique and made a pan of cornbread these beans are delicious thank you mister!!

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Yes ma'am! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👏

[@franceshagans7128]

I’m pregnant and have really been craving some but I’ve never made them before and didn’t want to play with a google recipe and it don’t taste authentic.

[@4lanbalfe]

I just tried making this and I tweaked it a bit but adding lime juice and red chilies at the end and it lvled it up for real! So delicious.

[@paulettepeace7889]

Lime juice 😳😖

[@reginecollier2728]

I found your channel searching for a recipe and your a man after my own heart I like down home cooking like family used to do to many sliding through these fast food drive thru these days especially young folks I like the variety of recipes on your channel thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@emmsha9420]

Looks delicious!...I can't wait to try this one...along with Ab's delicious cornbread recipe. I like this channel because you help to make a non-cooker like me, feel almost like a pro. I did your pinto bean recipe and it turned out so tasty. Keep on teaching and passing on food knowledge through your cooking.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Glad you enjoy!

[@Angela-Renae]

My mouth watering!!! Thanks for the thickening tip!! My beans soaking now and I can't wait to try it!!

[@bassplayer328]

Thanks for the recipe AB, I follow you step by step making the black eyed peas, and it came out great, I used smoked turkey necks in mines

Louisiana native here and my Mimi made hot water cornbread with our BEP. Can’t wait to make some tomorrow

[@shalondajay]

That's how we've been thickening our beans in New Orleans for decades. Looks good.

[@Yeahbuddy2014T]

Made this yesterday with Air Fried Chicken and rice. It was Magnificent! Thanks AB

[@Bushmaster10MM]

Lord Have mercy ! A.B. you done done it again !! Only thing missing was a pot of white rice. Blessings to you Big brother ✌🏾....JB

[@DP-ls1tb]

This looks delicious and I’m glad you made cornbread with it.

[@a_ya_la]

For the life of me I can never make good blackeyepeas like my momma. I just use the can. But Chef I am going to make these for my hubby. I make all kinds of beans but these, Thank You Chef

[@Chrissy411]

Welp I just learned something. I always used a flour paste to thicken my juice up. That looks so good

[@marlonbrown1461]

A partner from New Orleans showed me this thinking technique years ago making red beans and rice. will try this recipe for New Years Day meal. Right on time as usual!!

[@TiyaRand]

Hey AB. I use this same method in pot on the stove with canned black eyed peas. I drain them and rinse them really well. Then I use the same steps as you. They come out so good. Now I am the designated black eyes maker.... lol.

[@chelshayes502]

I was just wondering what if I used canned black eyed peas!

[@TheWolfCook]

Hey AB, just from the Picture, I know it's going to be so Delicious. It look so Creamy, and From the South I would Know.

[@nolajones366]

My mouth watering over time so instantly hungry watch u create this scrupulous down home meal I love blk eyed peas the fresh 1s I tell u Udint want nothing else t4s b blessed stay safe

[@thomasshankings4557]

you know AB, you are my clutch go to guy for the recipes i need guidance on and i greatly appreciate you bro... my moms was from the Lou so you already know i got a head full of learning... " you might not have no woman to cook for you even if shes there " so we got schooled on all domestic duties of the house... feel me ? sometimes i forget some of the techniques learned and you do the closest version of moms tactics. she was a non measuring type cook and that's how i learned ... you be measuring for teaching purposes but you can tell you're a eyeball it kind of cook because you know by sight .... thanks man keep it cooking...

[@Lovingthemarriedlife]

I don't like black eyed peas but, my husband do. He's the only one in the house that likes them. I'm cooking the peas right now! I can't wait until he try's it. Happy New Year!!!

[@jfree4513]

Making this as we speak brother. Thanks! W sauce makes the difference!!

[@briannebrown9247]

I do the smashing the beans trick. Simple and easy. Also love black eyed peas and people look at me crazy when I eat them outside the beginning of the year

[@deborahfranklin6212]

I bought frozen black eye peas from Ralph’s. Seasoned them and cooked on the stovetop for 45 minutes and they were beyond amazing. To thicken the sauce add arrowroot to the liquid then just take the lid off.

[@henryhawkins1194]

You normally don't have to add anything to make a gravy with black eyed peas. The key is cooking them long and slow, and stirring them. As the peas soften it makes its own gravy. I also add a couple of bay leaves to them. Those look so good, I never thought about cooking them in a crock pot.

[@icanary64]

I add bay leaves too.

[@dw2064]

I love the southern style food it brings back memories for me. My mom made a big pot of black eyed peas and ham hocks in her pressure cooker quite often. The skins which I never ate were butter soft too. You have the best recipes.

[@StropicalStrap]

AB u the best when it comes to throw'n down 💯✨

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thank you :)

[@THouze-sm5kt]

@AB I'm a Southern Woman. You definitely needs some grandchildrens to feed all those lovely meals to. Happy Sunday to you and your wife / family 👪 ❤️ 😘

[@SmutchyBritches]

I cook my black eyed peas in the crock pot without soaking my peas. They don't need soaking. I sauté the onions and use chicken stock and smoked ham just as shown in the video and cook them on high for 3 1/2 hours.. They always turn out perfect.

[@Itsalwaysbeenaboutme1844]

I don't when the last time I made black eye peas. After seeing this video, I ran to the store. Never made hotwater cornbread before. The meal came out delicious. I didn't even use hot sauce 😲I'll be adding this to my list.🤗

[@kbuckner5214]

Tried, tested, and true. (I cooked on stove top, had to add water, so it wouldn't dry out). Both my grandson and I love the navy beans soup recipe, this was a hit too.

[@Ms.Mee777]

Happy 2023!! Used this recipe many times, it's the BEST!! 😋🥂🎉

[@trinitysage3137]

Thank you. Thank you and thank you so much. I made some today. I absolutely love the thickening method.

[@beverlya.perkins4070]

My Brother, that looks really delicious.. I can't wait to get back in my place so I can try your recipe... I'm the lady who everyone is bothering with...and my church...God said, I'm going home...God Bless.

[@derwinhutchinson9972]

You nailed this one A B good. Job Bru. The part. About. The green onion. Sho. You RIGHT

[@Jin_Jon]

I do a similar thing with my black beans to thicken them up. Looking good AB

[@petalsjones]

I made this today and the fam loved it! Soooo much flavor.

[@janeherring2189]

Making this recipe now 😊
