Black-eyed peas have never had it so good. Ham, macaroni and crunchy corn chips turn them into a scrumptious casserole that would belong on any table in the Lone Star state. If you want to be really true to Texas, make a double batch.

Ham, bacon drippings, corn chips? How can you go wrong? I honestly wasn't expecting this recipe to be so scarf-it-down delicious - but it was (and then some). Everything about it was tasty, especially the corn chips. Go heavy on the corn chips - they add a nice saltiness and crunch.
