* 1 LB black eyed peas soaked overnight * 6 cups water * 1/2 pound bacon * 1/2 pound ham (i used 12oz) * 1 large yellow onion diced * 4 chicken bullion cubes (i used 3) * 4 TBS butter * S&P TT (i ended up only adding pepper) * Roux (optional)
Soak beans overnight.
The next day: Cook bacon. Set bacon aside and crumble. Fry diced onion in bacon grease and butter for 10 min until edges start to brown. Pour everything (butter/grease included) into crock pot except for salt and pepper. Cook on high for 4 – 5 hours. Season to taste. Thicken with roux if necessary.
Rice: I used 2 cups uncooked rice in 4 cups chicken broth which yielded 6 cups of rice cooked. This was good for 7 portions, each slightly less than 1 cup.

Ooooh this would be great for New Years! It’s a southern belief that if you have Hoppin’ John for the holiday it will bring you good luck all year. Your recipe sounds delicious! 😊

It does look really good, but wouldn’t the rice soak up all the juice? I’d add extra liquid if adding all that rice, or package separately.
