Everyone knows you are supposed to eat black-eyed peas for luck on New Years Day. This is a great recipe to use your crock pot. You can use the stove to cook your collards (for money).
I’m from the south and I’ve eaten black-eyed peas all my life. I serve black-eyed peas and champagne every New Year’s Eve for good luck, and then have them again as part of the New Year’s Day dinner.
Being able to just throw this together into a crock pot and not have to worry about it is great.
