Love crockpot recipes where I can literally throw everything in there, turn it on, and forget about it. We decreased the onion, used 1/2 water, 1/2 low sodium chicken broth, and ham hocks. It turned out great. I cooked in our Pampered Chef Rock Croc and did 2 hours on high and only 6 hours on low and they were perfect!

WOW, I have always had trouble making black-eyed peas like my MamMaw, but this one nailed it. I added 1 clove of garlic and a couple of pieces of pork neck along with a few pieces of salt pork, and left off celery (not a fan). I will be cooking all my dried peas in my slow cooker. Thanks

This will be the 3rd New Years Eve that I have used this recipe. I serve it over white rice and Honey Butter Cornbread on the side and my family loves it!!

Super flavor! Used smoked pork and sauteed onions in butter. Cooking time for me was quite different -perhaps the type of slow cooker I used. 2 hours on high and 1 hour on low. I will definitely make again.

I made this exactly as directed and it turned out very good. The peas were very tender. I made it for a bbq we had last weekend and everyone liked it very much.
