An easy week night dinner that my kids love. Have it with a nice salad, and dinner is done. The red pepper should be adjusted to fit your family’s taste.
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked beef sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans low sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 2 cups uncooked instant rice
Directions
Step 1
Place the sausage and onion into a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir until the sausage begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the black-eyed peas, chicken stock, water, and cayenne pepper, and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

My Husband and I had this for New Years Day for good luck. It was just delicious and great. We decided we would definitley make this our New Years Day Tradition. It was so Easy. We used jalepeno and ham black eyed pea cans instead of regular ones. And instead of sausage we used Spiral Sliced Ham cut up. Hope others like as much as we did.

Late on New Year’s Day, we decided we needed a dish with black eyed peas and tomatoes; it was a little late to fix anything without the word “easy” in it, so I gave this one a try. I used crushed pepper flakes instead of the cayenne and added a can of rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies to spice it up a bit. I was skeptical because it was so easy, but it was delicious. Next time I will add some shrimp.

Nothing to write home about. Pretty blah in flavor. You should DEFINITELY adjust the cayenne unless your family LOVES hot n’ spicy food. I’d cut it in half (at least) for most people, my family included – my older kids could barely eat it and they’re used to spicy food. The youngest couldn’t eat it at all. I wish I’d chosen a different recipe for my first taste of blackeye peas.

This was easy (as advertised), quick to make, and tasted very good. I decreased the servings on this recipe, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. Do not add salt until you taste this as the smoked sausage adds some salt to the mix. Thanks for a tasty recipe!

Hubs and I really enjoyed this & easy is right. I did add some chopped celery and red pepper with the onion, and some garlic powder, onion powder and cajun seasoning. Very simple but tasty dish. I also used turkey smoked sausage which I don’t think took away from flavor at all.

Good for New Year’s Day – Used Johnsonville turkey sausage, adjusted everything for 6 servings, used 2 cans peas; 1 can drained diced tomatoes; a dash cajun seasoning instead of cayenne; cooked onion and garlic with 2 slices bacon, then disgarded bacon since we’re trying to eat healthier

Too bland without my additions so I made a few changes. I added chunks of chicken, 2 stalks celery, 1 can of tomato sauce (I actually meant to use a can of diced tomatoes but read the can wrong, but it turned out great!), sprinkle of Cajun creole seasoning spice, 2 tsp garlic, pepper , and salt. Then made it with a wild rice and quinoa blend. It was really good! ?? Shrimp would probably be good to add.

My husband brought home some cans of black-eye peas, and I was glad to find this recipe to use them up. I’m glad I read the tips included in the reviews, to make this a filled-out dinner. I added fresh garlic, a can of Rotel diced tomatoes, shrimp, and bacon. To keep the recipe easy, I used thawed precooked shrimp (added toward the end of cooking time) and precooked bacon (crisped in the microwave and used as the final touch). Next time, I’m also going to add diced green bell pepper (with the onion), for color. I appreciate this recipe.
