Time 20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups canned black-eyed peas, drained
1/2 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (Hatch, or other brand)
1 large pickled jalapeno pepper (or a fresh jalapeno if you are brave)
8 ounces flavorful strong english cheddar cheese (shredded or cut in small pieces)
8 ounces butter (not margarine)

Steps:

  • Put 3.5 cups of the peas in a blender or food processor with onion, garlic, chilies and jalapeƱo, and blend.
  • Heat butter and cheddar pieces over slow heat until both are melted. (If they don't blend together well after melting, that's okay).
  • Add the butter/cheddar mixture to the pea mixture, and stir or process until blended.
  • Add the remaining whole peas, and chill.
  • Serve slightly warm with your favorite chips.
