This is really really good! So easy too. I used drained canned black eyed peas more ham than was called for. (I had a bunch of leftover ham from the holidays) Added a few red pepper flakes and a healthy shake of Cajun seasoning. Delicious and it is ready to just minutes. Did I say this is a KEEPER? Yes it is!

EXCELLENT! I'm a vegetarian and have been trying to mix it up with new recipes that work for both my omnivore guy and me. This is a keeper! SUBS: I used veggie bac-un for the ham I used brown rice vs. white I used vegan vegetable stock vs water. ADDS: I doubled the amount of black eyed peas (3C) then added smoked paprika & turmeric (2T ea) and a pinch of liquid smoke to the seasonings; added 1/2 a large bag of frozen spinach (3C) to the mix when adding the peas. WONDERFUL. SIMPLE. AWESOME.
i sauteed the onion bell pepper and garlic for about 5 mins to give the olive oil a little more flavor. i also added 1lb of italian mild sausage and cooked that with the diced ham. i then finished the dish as written and everyone loved it. thank you andy s san diego ca
I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out ok but it was really bland. The peas had a really nice flavor before mixing in the rice but they just got lost. If I ever make it again I will half the rice and perhaps double the ham.
Excellent New Year’s Day dinner. Made this with ham left over from Christmas!
It was delicious. However I thought 4 cups of rice was just too much for the amount of beans therefore I did not add all of the rice. Next time I would increase the amount of beans. I would make this again!
