• Put the rinsed fresh peas in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.

CROCK-POT SOUTHERN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH HAM HOCK

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the peas in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with water to at least 3 inches over the peas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, then simmer for 15 minutes, drain, and reserve.
• Place the ham hock, onion, celery, carrots, bacon, cayenne pepper, and garlic in the slow cooker. Add 3 cups of water.
• Cover the ingredients and cook on high for 1 hour.
• Add the drained peas to the slow cooker.
• Set the crock pot on low, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 hours, stirring halfway.
• Once the cooking time is done, remove the ham hock from the pot, pick the meat, and shred it or chop it depending on your preference. Add the meat back to the peas.
• Taste for seasoning and add kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Stir well.
• Serve the peas with your favorite sides and enjoy.

CROCK POT BLACK-EYED PEAS & HAM

Steps:

• 1. Rinse peas. Drain and place in Crock Pot.
• 2. Pour in chicken broth. Add water to bring the liquid just to the top of the peas.
• 3. Bury the ham bone down into the peas. (If you don't have a bone I use chunks of ham and it works just as well.)
• 4. Add the chopped onion, bay leaves, can of Rotel tomatoes, and garlic powder.
• 5. Cover and set Crock Pot to low for 8 hrs.
• 6. At that time, remove bone. Remove any meat from the bone. Cut into bite-sized pieces (you want about two cups total).
• 7. Add ham to the Crock Pot. Recover and continue to cook for 2 more hours.
• 8. Remove bay leaves. Serve with cornbread and enjoy!
• 9. Note: If you do not use a ham bone and have only chunks of ham then just cook on low for 10 hrs and increase the amount of ham to about 3 cups. I use a 6 qt Crock Pot and it is full when all ingredients are added. If you are having trouble with room in the pot you can adjust the liquid to less.
