Made several times now, delicious
EXCELLENT RECIPE! made it with leftover ham and pepper-jack cheese because that’s what I had– I probably added extra Cajun seasoning– I never measure (so this is a versatile recipe) SO GOOD. I served it with cornbread. My favorite part tho– not having to0 drain the Rotel tomatoes, or the black eye peas!

We loved it.
Agree. This was amazing. Ingredients sounded bland but it was very tasty. Put half in the freezer for later. Can’t wait to eat that one.
What is the Cajun seasoning made up of?

Are you supposed to drain the black-eyed peas or add them undrained?
No, you do not drain them.
I drained and it turned out fine.
This dish is soooooo good! My family loves black eyed peas and this recipe didn’t disappoint. Thank you!
If you made this as a side dish what would you serve with it? I am going to make this for sure!
This dish is made with pork so if you serve it as a side maybe chicken or beef. Trust me, it’s good with anything. 🙂
I made The Black eye pea casserole with plant based protein for the meat, a can of coconut milk for the can of condensed chicken, cooked brown rice in place of the white rice & Daiya shreds for my cheese substitute. The Bomb!!! I’ve already forwarded it to a few family members who are plant based.
What is not to enjoy in this recipe?
Love trying new recipes! Can’t wait to make. jewel
I’m trying to find a casserole recipe that has black eyed peas, cabbage, and pork. Get all the good luck I can lol. Would you think a layer of cabbage at the bottom of the pan kind of like a bottom layer would work? Also would substituting cream of mushroom for the cream of chicken mess up the recipe too much?
You could switch out the hamburger in this soup for sausage.. but as far as the casserole.. I am not sure. it may work just fine.

Sounds delicious and I’m very grateful to have a new and exciting recipe to try.
Want to make this for New Years. Do you drain the cans of Rotel and black eyed peas or use the liquid?
I didn’t drain the peas.
What about the Rotel? Should it be drained?
I don’t drain the rotels. You can if you want to.
Is it 1 cup of cooked rice or 2 cups? I’m confused. Thanks.
It is one cup of uncooked rice.. then you cook it and that makes 2 cups of rice. One cup of uncooked rice.. cooked makes 2 cups.
What can I use in place of the sausage?
Leave it out if you don’t want sausage in it.
I can’t wait to make this for New Years!!!!!
What could you use in place of rice for this recipe, my husband does not like rice at all. Could you just omit it from the recipe and maybe put more cheese in it? Maybe some velvetia cubes stired into the mix before placing it in the oven and still putting cheese on top
You can try it, I am sure it would be fine.
What kind of sausage is used in this recipe? I’m thinking either smoked sausage or perhaps a roll of breakfast sausage? It sounds delicious either way.
Hi Brenda, we used pork breakfast sausage. Thanks!
