These black-eyed peas are slow-simmered with smoky sausage, crisp bacon, and a deeply savory mix of aromatics and Creole seasonings for a rich, comforting, stew-like meal. While traditionally enjoyed in the Southern U.S. as a “good luck” meal on New Year’s Day, it’s a delicious, budget-friendly one-pot meal whenever you’re in need of a little bit of comfort. After a quick soak, the peas cook until tender in seasoned chicken stock, soaking up layers of smoky, herby flavor along the way. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for sharing, this classic dish is just as good on its own as it is alongside a starch of your choosing, like rice.
