I use bacon and add chopped onion. Fry chopped bacon, save about a tablespoon of grease in pan, add onion and beans, after onions have sweated and start to carmelize, add rest of ingredients. We also serve it over rice and or cornbread. Gotta love beans. Occasionally we add skinless pieces of chicken to beans while cooking. Excellent flavors. My recipe is very very similar.

They didn't wind up tasting bad, but, I dunno. Next time I will have to try it your way. Maybe they will turn out good then. Oh, I had added a little bit of chicken broth to the mixture too - not sure how that affected them! Thanks for this recipe - next year it will definitely be done this way.

So I did a search and yours was the first one I went to. Thank you for the recipe. This was very good. We all enjoyed the beans very much. I think it is a keeper for years to come.

A friend of mine asked me how to make pintos. I told her how to cook them in the crock pot and that i only put water, a stick of butter and sometimes some ham in them. After I told her how to do it, she asked me if that was all. I told her yes, she said, "what makes them brown then?" It was so funny. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and you have a Blessed New Year!!! Christy,

Fixed these peas in the crockpot on New Years Eve, since we had church the next day at 11; wasn't sure they would be done before church if I cooked them that morning. They were great!! Even my hubby, who grew up having to eat peas sometimes twice a day (and now hates them) ate some and enjoyed them. Also fixed your fried cabbage - yum!! Thanks for all the hard work and love you put into your website and recipes!! Happy New Year!

I also make a big ole mess of Cornbread and save aside a couple of chunks for Sweet Milk and Cornbread before bed on New Years Night. Happy New Year Everyone!

This is just how my mother and grandmother's cooked New Year's dinner, but we also have always put a dime in the black eyed peas and whoever got the dime got extra fortune for the year. My fiance can't believe some of the traditions that we have and especially the sayings. He also can't understand why I put sugar on almost all of my food, lol. My daughter is diabetic so I usually use splenda and it taste the same when cooked in the food. A few adjustments because of her being diabetic, but everything still comes out tasting very good. Thanks for all the information. I am glad that I stumbled across your site.
