Ingredients
- 1 lb. hickory smoked bacon, chopped
- 2-3 bunches green onions, finely chopped
- 6 small cans of fresh shelled black-eyed peas
- 6 cubes of beef bouillon
- Water
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and salt to taste (optional)
Directions
- Sauté the bacon until brown and crisp. Add the green onions and sauté. Add the black-eyed peas and 2 to 3 cans of water, along with bouillon cubes and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and let simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, enough to allow some of the water to evaporate. Taste and add salt if desired, and/or a dash of Worcestershire sauce or Tabasco.
