Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef (or vegetarian meat alternative, see note above)
3 medium onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 (16 ounce) cans spicy black-eyed peas, drained (I prefer the Ranch Style brand, but use Trappey's if I can't get them)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion and bell pepper until beef is brown and vegetables are tender.
  • Drain off excess fat.
  • Add drained black-eyed peas, tomatoes and their liquid, salt and pepper.
  • Mix well.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • I serve with corn muffins and cold spiced peaches for an easy one dish supper.
  • NOTE- If you don't have the spicy black-eyed peas, you could add chopped jalapenos to suit your taste along with plain black-eyed peas.
  • This dish freezes well.
