Black Eyed Peas - Not the Singing Kind

Mr. Bee is making his specialty for dinner tonight and I am so excited. As we speak (blog) black eyed peas are doing there thing in the crock pot. Besides being delicious, I love black eyed peas because - it's a simple recipe, yields lunch and dinner for a about a week for 2 people, and costs less than $10! Give it a shot!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of dry, black eyed peas
• 1 onion
• Smoked turkey legs (you can pretty much use any smoked meat you'd like or omit it)
• Water
• Olive Oil
  
• Bay leaves, Salt, Pepper
• Rice

Directions:

Put the beans in a container, cover with water and soak overnight. In the morning, drizzle a little olive oil in the bottom of the crock pot, add chopped onion, and a few bay leaves. Place the smoked turkey legs in next and then add the beans after you've drained them from the water they soaked in. Next, add about 4 quarts of water or until everything is covered. Throw some salt and pepper in and put the lid on. Set the crock pot to 6-8 hours. It's usually done before then so check the beans during the last few hours if you can.

Serve over rice and don't forget the Frank's Red Hot Sauce!
