Spicy Black-Eyed Peas image

This is kind of like a "cheater" version of Hoppin John. It has the Cajun holy trinity, but uses convenience items liked canned beans instead of dried to make the recipe quicker and easier. Great side for a large gathering, or you can cut the recipe down for less people.
