Ingredients
  

For the Dish
  • 1 package Smoked Sausages Consider smoked turkey sausage or ham hock for a tasty twist.
  • 2 cups Black Eyed Peas Canned peas are convenient, while dried requires soaking.
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies Fresh cherry tomatoes can be milder substitutes.
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Chicken broth is a great alternative if preferred.
  • 1 large White Onion
  • 1 large Green Bell Pepper Celery can also be added for extra richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning Adjust to your heat preference.
  • 2 cups Boil-in-Bag Rice (Uncooked) Ensures quick cooking in the slow cooker.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Steps
  1. Gather ingredients: Collect all your ingredients and equipment, like a Crockpot and a non-stick skillet.
  2. Brown the sausage: Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add the sausage slices. Cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, then transfer them to the Crockpot.
  3. Mix the base: In the Crockpot, combine the black-eyed peas, diced tomatoes, beef broth, chopped onion, green bell peppers, and all the seasonings. Stir gently to mix everything thoroughly.
  4. Cook slowly: Secure the lid on your Crockpot and set it to cook on Low for 6 hours.
  5. Add the rice: After 6 hours, open the Crockpot and stir in the uncooked boil-in-bag rice. Cover and switch the setting to High for an additional 20 minutes.
