Make sure you have a good slow cooker to make crock pot black eyed peas.
Now you definitely need a crock pot for this recipe. I have two favorite crock pots.
I love my Ninja cooking system. It is pretty awesome because you can brown your ground beef or whatever meat you are cooking in the pot and then let is slow cook all day.
That means one more less pan to cook for most recipes. This has become my new favorite crock pot just because of that one feature!
I am all about making things easier around here and having less dishes to clean up! You can make this in the instant pot if you prefer.
I also love this programmable 6 quart crock pot. It is awesome and very nice on the budget.
I love that it will seal closed so you can transport it for parties and tailgates. This is such an awesome feature if you take your crock pot places.
Another time saving tip is to use Crockpot liners. They make clean up a breeze.
Instead of scrubbing and washing the pot, you can just toss the liner. It is practically no clean up.
Can I make black eyed peas without soaking them?
You can but the cooking instructions differ. If you do not want to soak the beans, cook on HIGH for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
How to make black eye peas in a crock pot:

What goes with Black-Eyed Peas?
It is delicious with these easy homemade dinner rolls. We also love it with this easy homemade cornbread.
You can also try Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Recipe for a little extra kick.
Serve the beans with this Crock pot corned beef and cabbage for another great idea.
Time saving tip:
We keep diced onion and bell pepper in the freezer so it is easy to add to any recipe we like. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.
If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

I made this a few days ago to try out for New Years Day. Let me just say, “It’s a definite winner.” I’ve never added tomatoes in my black eyed peas, but it really tasted great! I will surely be making these again on NYD!

I make this every New Years. I use rotel tomatoes also, just because I like tomatoes and a ham hock.

Love this recipe . I will say to cut back on the salt I use Johnsonville summer sausage …Add cut into small bite size pieces at the beginning. Then cook like the recipe says.
Ray Williams says
I have always used the crockpot for my black eyed peas. I add a smoked ham hock to the crockpot and use chicken broth. I use dried beans because I want them to soak up the flavor of the cooking liquid.
Jessica Brock says
Delicious!

Do you recommend freezing leftovers of the Black Eyed Peas?
I’m the only one that likes them in our family so it would be nice to freeze them for future meals.
Love this easy tasty recipe.
Thank you. Happy 2??0??2??1??

Yes, you can freeze the leftovers on black eyed peas. I place them in a freeze bag and they should last for 3-6 months in the freezer. Thanks.
