Have to admit, I never had black eyed peas as well. But that dish looks and sounds great. :)

What the hell is wrong with you people?! :D No black-eyed peas?

Guess that means you've never had Trappey's brand Field Peas either? Trappey's is another good brand of canned vegetables.

I have seen a few Trappy's cans at a nearby IGA..

Pickled jalapenos or something like that.

Jan just made some the other day with andouille and home smoked tasso added for additional flavor. I'll see if she has a recipe or just winged it. (Think black-eyed pea jambalaya)

I usually get Bush's -- but I season 'em myself with my own TOP SECRET TRICK.

Sure glad we got THAT squared away.
Now you can just look at me sideways about everything else!

Pat, here you go.
Jan's Hoppin' John
In a stock pot or dutch oven, brown 1 pound sliced andouille or smoked sausage. Add 1 large diced onion and saute. Add a finely chopped jalapeno. Add 3 cans of black-eyed peas and 2 cups of cooked rice. Jan used brown rice. Lastly, add 1 can of chopped tomatoes. You can season accordingly with something like Soileau's if needed. ;) Heat until all is heated through. Serve it up with some cornbread and you're good to go!
