Worked great as a soup too !

I'm planning on making a vegetarian version (using mushrooms in place of the ground beef) later this week. I've taken a few of the black-eyed peas and set them aside for sprouting as I like a little crunch with my casseroles. See http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi/archives/2007/08/05/series-of-sprouts-black-eyed-pea-sprouts/ for some black-eyed pea sprouting tips. Another nice tip: I agree with the author of that blog that black-eyed peas always seem to run cheaper at my local Indian grocer, but maybe that doesn't hold true for all locations.

They are supposed to be healthier (because canned foods have the plastic liner). Also if you cook the beans ahead could you store them in the freezer to use later? Thank you.

I vary the beans (never thought of using blackeyed peas though -- i have some in the freezer!), the tomatoes are usually fire-roasted or rotel-style (because that's what i stocked up on! LOL) and the meat and veggies are whatever's in the fridge. i toss it all in the rice cooker together when i cook the rice. Top w/ fritos & shredded cheese! Matter of fact, i bet that's what we're having for lunch this very day!!! thanks!!! :D hmmm.. hoppin' john style with ham for the meat and kale for the veggies, hot sauce... this sounds just like my “mombalaya”!

No need to keep it hot. Perhaps I'll do a tutorial post! Because cooking dried beans is so much cheaper than buying canned! @Crista,

Not sure what the hubby would eat...but I LOVE blackeyed peas. (I'm picky though, I'll only use fresh or frozen - but they do cook up relatively quickly) I have some frozen, already prepared blackeyed peas. I could just stir in the remaining ingredients, allow it to simmer for a few minutes, and have a yummy dinner! Thanks for the great idea. This sounds yummy.
