Black-eyed Pea Gumbo

Recipe #15060 | 3¼ hours | 15 min prep | 8 small bowls (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Risë

This is SO simple, either crockpot or stovetop! A friend of mine served this a few weeks ago on a very cold Sunday and I've made it three times since! Spice it up or tone it down as you like. I like spicy foods so I add a lot of Tobasco? to my bowl! Some people like to add okra as well for the real gumbo look...I hope you enjoy this!

Ingredients

  • can ranch style black-eyed peas
  • can ranch style black-eyed peas with jalapenos
  • can beef broth
  • can diced tomato (Rotel will spice it up more)
  • lb sausage links (preferably with jalapenos)
  • can diced green chilies
  • 1 bell pepper
  • celery (optional)
  • bags 10-minute Success rice (cooked)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Slice bell pepper, celery (dice if you prefer) and uncooked sausage.
    2. 2
      Put all ingredients EXCEPT RICE in a crockpot (this will fill a 3qt crockpot).
    3. 3
      Cook on high for at least 3 hours then add cooked rice* and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
    4. 4
      If you make this on the stove top the cooking time will be approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
    5. 5
      *Ileave the rice out and allow each person to put in as much as they like in their bowl and pour the gumbo over it.
    6. 6
      IF there is any left over, I add the remaining rice.
    7. 7
      If it is needing additional broth the next day, I add tomato juice or tomato sauce (juice works the best).

    I made a couple changes to the recipe and veganized it. I used regular black-eyed peas, veggie broth, diced tomatoes with jalapenos, and jalapeno salsa. I fried an onion, bell pepper, and celery in black pepper and cayenne pepper, and put this in the crockpot all day. I then added some vegan sausage links and brown rice. It was delicious, even better the next day. Thank you for this recipe.

    I am always looking for ways to use smoked turkey sausage but this was too hot for us. All I used was rotel tomatoes & a can of chilis and my husband wouldn't eat it. I liked it, it's a good recipe, but not for the weak. I didn't have ranch beans so I used fresh frozen with the seasonings other have recommended (chili powder, onion powder and garlic). I'd like to try it agin with ranch beans and milder rotel!

    People this is sooooooooooo good. I confess I used a can or ranch style pinto beans and a can of blackbeans with peppers as we do not care for blackeyed peas. But I knew by reading all the rest of the ingredients that it would be a hit. Wonder flavor and spiced just right with louisiana hot sauce. Add cornbread and your in heaven. Will do this many times for sure!

    This was a very easy recipe to make and it made enough to feed my family. I didn't use the rotel tomatoes I used the Hunts with green chilis in them. I made cornbread to go with this. I will most certainly make this again (I made mine on the stove but next time I think I'll try the crockpot). Thanks for this money stretcher and tasty soup.
