Easy Black Eyed Peas Recipe | Soul Food

[@reibierobster7549]

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

[@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

[@ShaunaMichelle]

This recipe was bomb!! 10/10 recommend.

[@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.

[@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. 😋😋😋

[@glynismorris2196]

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

[@suewalker6636]

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

[@aquillakelly5010]

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

[@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!! 😋

[@kdubbster]

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

[@antwonettemayberry8481]

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

[@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

[@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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@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!

[@johnettamcconnell5492]

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

[@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

[@dylanhill1640]

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

[@shalondajay]

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

[@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

[@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

[@charlenedickerson2880]

Good Morning AB!!! We on the same wave length today. I ran across some turnip greens yesterday and decided to go all out in a Soul Food Sunday!!! Baby Backs, Turnip greens, Fried Apples, Mac n Cheese, Black Eyed Peas with that Hot Water Cornbread!!! Keep the inspiration coming!!!💞💞💞

[@angelatruly]

What time did you say I needed to be there for dinner? 🙃🙃

[@iphxjdiejd6888]

Oh definitely want a plate 🤣

[@susanrand512]

Can I give you my address to fed ex me a plate, sounds so good

[@ksmilan9441]

I will take my plate to go via next day air to Seattle. Thank u

[@fonda7760]

Fried apples? Sounds rather interesting. I’ll have to try. Recipe? 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 👪 ❤️ 😘

[@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. 🍴 😋 😋

[@Angela-Renae]

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

[@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.

[@stevo88071]

The Company is 🔥 The Food is 🔥 The Content is 🔥 & The Teaching is 🔥 Damn AB, Nothing but 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@kikiblue9924]

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

[@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

[@wifeynmommy06]

My fiancé wanted B.E.P for Sunday dinner and while I actually strongly dislike them, I have been coming to AB’s channel and following the recipe to a T. He absolutely loves them and eats them like a 🐽‼️ 🥰🤣

[@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.

[@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 😳😖

[@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?

[@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!!

[@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

[@sylviaorellana857]

Being southern you have plucked my heart strings 💕

[@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! 👏

[@maureenmackey4879]

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

[@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.

[@Ms.Mee777]

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

[@chelybeann]

Dang AB, I just made this on Wednesday using your old recipe!! 😂 love your recipes, you have turned me into a natural down south cook! My white husband didn’t know what hit him when this yankee Puerto Rican girl started cooking with your videos! Much love from SC! ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@feliciacampbell-smith3652]

Was That Worcestershire Steak Sauce He Used???

[@migomigo2595]

Girl shut up

[@wilmashelton6215]

[@audreypryor5831]

I made the beef casserole last night for dinner. My boyfriend loved it! I told him “ that’s cooking with AB!” I love his Channel 😃

[@peacefullove2078]

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.

[@petalsjones]

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

[@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.

[@theresawalls2473]

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

[@persuasiondollmystichealer9953]

I've been thinking about my granny and this is one of her favorite meals I wanna cry lol 🤣 thanks for posting 😍💗

[@StropicalStrap]

These meals are the best! Ty Wanda and Happy Sunday

[@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!🥳

[@jfree4513]

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

[@eramorgan7375]

Crock pots. One of the greatest inventions ever made. Period.

[@dioad1739]

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.

[@darnelljones8167]

Man I really respect your game as a cook. Everyone in my family say I’m a good cook but I’m taking care of my dad so I can’t do it up like I use to but I have a lot of recipes that people request when they stop by keep doing what you doing because it truly gives me hope stay blessed

[@jaymyke88]

My grandma used to make the best black eyed peas, This took me back. Thank you now I will be making this.

[@crystalgrose]

That’s a beautiful bowl 🥣 of peas and cornbread AB!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@susieb4992]

Just like my Mom and Grandmother used to make! Yummy!

[@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.

[@bluecollarscholarmelrosepa5673]

I love black eye peas and hot water Cornbread🌅🌄

[@syqunich]

I made the beans and the hot water cornbread and they're delicious!!!!

[@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.🤗

[@johnschnee3934]

We are Saved by Grace Through FAITH NOT WORKS. Salvation is a free gift from GOD given to those all who will believe LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED AS A SALVATION LAMB for our sins by the BLOOD OF LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS BLOOD CLEANSES Our Sins (WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT)!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@jameslatimer8665]

Just like my mom's will do. Thank you i miss my mother black eyed peas.

[@dnice8430]

Love the recipe. I also add chopped, garlic, celery and peppers for flavor!

[@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!!!

[@sharonraquel2669]

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

[@Bris650]

AB you are a gem. I really love your videos

[@jamessanders7408]

I'm about to try this. It looks good

[@nonya3681]

I just happened to be scrolling by looking for something else and this popped up. I stayed to see if you really knew how to make Southern black eye peas. AB, you knocked it out. This is how I was taught to make black eye peas. Plus, I have to have green onions on the side 🍽️🍴👏🏾 👏🏾 😍

[@MK-hz2bn]

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

[@iderric27]

Glad you shared the secret to thickening the peas! I do that with my lentils too, but with a blender. Thx👌🏾

[@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

[@blakkbutterfly1356]

That's how I thicken my beans. They came out so beautiful AB. I eat with my eyes... and them beans right there 😋 👌🏾

[@Sweet1o1]

I love black eyed peas! This soul food is like my Mom's home cookin' was. Thanks! 🙏🏼✌🏼❤️

[@slicedice577]

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!🥰🤗I WAS JUST SITTING HERE EARLIER WONDERING HOW TO MAKE THE JUICE IN BEANS & PEAS THICK

[@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.

[@jarchiec]

God bless your grandfather and his green onion....lots of memories I'm sure.

[@anderander5662]

Black Eyed Peas are so good with a little bacon or ham in them....and cornbread of course😊.

[@theresalaw849]

Thank you I’m trying this recipe ❤😊

[@franceshagans7128]

I Love black eyed peas. I am going to try fixing them your way because yours look delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@msethel8847]

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

[@pattiabb3259]

Ever since I seen this, I cooked my peas like this, never misses❤

[@dawnrochon6539]

Just want to say thank you! Came out perfect.

[@dawnrochon6539]

Thank you for the thickening tip!!

[@DP-ls1tb]

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

[@reginecollier2728]

Made these last night and listennn…absolutely fireeeee. Shoulda paired it with some white rice !!

[@thedonofdank2538]

You speak directly to my heart man. I know you love what you do just by the look of pleasure in your face.

[@keitahentleigh7489]

...My mouth is for sure watering...😋... Thank you for sharing the thickening technique...

[@gruss512]

Great recipe AB. I make mine using a smoked turkey wing, and I add a few tablespoons of hot chunky picante sauce for a kick! I never forget to add the garlic too!😆 Try the hot picante sauce next time, you'll never go back.🤔
