I posted a recipe for Instant Pot Creamy Black-Eyed Peas and I wanted to give you a slow cooker recipe too. It’s been black-eyed pea week here on HSC because in the Southern US we eat black-eyed peas for luck on New Year’s Day.

Even if it’s not your tradition, it’s still an easy and healthy way to start off the new year.

You can use the slow cooker to cook plain black-eyed peas by only using the water and beans. Then they’ll be ready for you favorite recipes.

Slow Cooker Black-eyed Peas

soy-free, gluten-free

Author: Kathy Hester

Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

1 pound dry black-eyed peas
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 bay leaves
6 cups of water, or enough to cover the beans and about 1 inch above
1 to 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, to taste
a few drops liquid smoke
hot pepper powder (chipotle etc.), to taste
smoked salt and pepper, taste
jalapeño salt, optional - to taste
Tabasco, on the side for serving

Instructions

In the morning: Add everything except salt and pepper to your slow cooker. Cook on low 7 to 9 hours.

Before serving: Taste and adjust seasonings if needed and add salt and pepper.

If you can find some jalapeño salt it really adds a special touch to this dish. I dusted it on top of my grit ghosts.

Notes

This uses a 4 quart slow cooker. If yours is larger you may need to add extra water.
