Black-Eyed Pea Gumbo

Recipe #15060 | 3¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

This is SO simple, either crock pot 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 Tabasco? to my bowl! Some people like to add okra as well for the real gumbo look...I hope you enjoy this!

8 small bowls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice bell pepper, celery (dice if you prefer) and uncooked sausage.
  2. 2
    Put all ingredients EXCEPT RICE in a crock pot (this will fill a 3 quart crock pot).
  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
    *I leave 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 taught this in a casserole cooking class and it was a huge hit. Thanks for such a great recipe. Oh, I did drain the Rotel tomatoes to take away some of the extram spice.

    OK, this was one of those recipes that I was truly on the fence about trying. I wasn't sure if my family would like the black eyed peas as much as I was hoping. I read the reviews many times over and decieded to "take the plunge" and make the dish. Oh my, I am so glad I did, my family really enjoyed this. DD#2 said it doesn't taste like beans, they (the black eyed peas) taste like the sausage. Ahhhhhh my little darling is broadening her horizons.....lol. I served this was white rice and a spinach salad. Perfect meal and didn't have to heat up the house either.....bonus. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.

    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.
