Perfect Stovetop Black-eyed Peas (10 Servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to ½ lbs of fresh or frozen black-eyed peas
  • ½ cup of chopped onion
  • Two garlic cloves, minced
  • One teaspoon of garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 to 4 strips of bacon, diced into pieces
  • One tablespoon of EVOO or canola oil
  • Two tablespoons of sugar
  • One teaspoon of beef-flavored Better Than Bouillon (or one beef bouillon cube)
  • 1 to 2 cans of chicken broth or bone broth (reduced sodium is preferable)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chopped bacon in heated oil over medium heat.
  2. When the bacon is almost done, add the chopped onion. Cook the onion till it gets tender, then add in the garlic during the last minute of cooking.
  3. Stir in the garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Afterward, pour in the beef stock and the crushed bouillon cube, then allow the resulting mixture to reach a rolling boil.
  5. Pour the frozen black-eyed peas into the pot and pour in enough broth to cover them by 1 inch; add some water if additional liquid is still needed.
  6. Let the cooking mixture come to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cook for 2 hours, or until the peas are sufficiently cooked; make sure to keep stirring occasionally and add extra water or broth if necessary.
  7. Serve the cooked peas as soon as they’re done, or let them cool for proper storage if using them later.

Frozen black-eyed peas are easy to cook with, as you can see in the recipe above. Also, with the right flavor and seasoning combinations, you can be sure you’ll arrive at really delicious results.
