❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the combination of pork sausage with black-eyed peas. It’s taste great and this is a hearty main dish. It’s easy to throw together, reheats well and has fantastic flavor. Plus if you are having it for New Year’s it has two ingredients you want to have, pork and black-eyed peas. Add our Southern Style Cabbage and you are set!

SWAPS

You can swap out the pork sausage for ground beef or ground turkey. If you are not a fan of green chilis you can just use a can of diced tomatoes.

⭐TIPS

We do not drain the tomatoes; you can if you like, but the recipe includes rice, and it soaks up most of the liquid. Also, we don’t drain the black-eyed peas because they are thick in the can and there is nothing to drain. If your black-eyed peas are full of liquid, you can drain them. This recipe includes 2 cups of cooked rice. So you will cook ONE cup of rice and that will be 2 cups made.

Notes

The canned black-eyed peas that we buy, are very thick and not in a lot of juice, so we don’t drain them. You can certainly rinse and drain the peas if you like.
