Hoppin' John (Slow Cooked Black Eyed Peas)

This Hoppin’ John recipe is a classic Southern dish of black-eyed peas cooked low and slow, traditionally with rice, flavored with smoked pork and loads of seasonings. It’s an incredible dish you need to try, often served on New Year's for good luck. I could eat this all day long. Extra spices for me, please!

Will you serve yours with or without rice?

[@SpreadthelovePK]

Yum. Yum. Yum!

[@nicholasdomitraschuk1689]

OK. YES. AWESOME. Spicey with Ham.

[@zossvega9436]

Nice.

[@nicholasdomitraschuk1689]

OH HELL YES.

[@aliciaseecharan]

You could make it meatless with just celery, onion, and bell peppers..... And have some cornbread with it 🎄💕

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Absolutely! Thanks, Alicia!

[@Elizabeth-rf5vv]

Love the recipe! If I wanted to use frozen black eyed peas would that effect the cook time?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Elizabeth! You really only need to simmer maybe 30 minutes with frozen peas, just to heat them through and let the flavors all meld. Let me know how it goes for you.

No Okra or Tomatoes? Still it looks freakin' good, and as a pepperhead I love the addition of Jalapenos!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Great additions for sure! Go for it! =)

This what she wanted!

[@michaelhunter3690]

She loved it! Thank you so much. She's buying your cook books now, win for me.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

@@michaelhunter3690 Outstanding! I hope you enjoy them!

I made my first attempt at growing jalapenos this summer, and when I had problems (peppers never grew to a good size), I googled and found your website - and it has stayed open on my laptop ever since. Love everything about your site! I'm totally making this for NY day dinner. Thank you for leaving out the rice and tomatoes, and giving a spicy twist on the recipe! Oh, hey ... can the leftovers be frozen, do you know?

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks, Tammy! I appreciate it. Yes, you can freeze the leftovers, but the beans go get rather softer after thawing. Something to keep in mind. Enjoy!

[@kevinmarshall808]

Nice recipe! I will be using it tomorrow; however, this is NOT criticism, just a question. Is it Hoppin John without collard greens?🤔 Will you be insulted if I add them to your recipe?😁

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Collards are a GREAT addition, Kevin. Go for it. I LOVE my collards. Enjoy!
