Ingredients

5 slices bacon
2 cups chopped tomato
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 cups water
2 cubes beef bouillon
4 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
2 cups grated Swiss cheese

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle.
Add tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, garlic, salt, and pepper to bacon drippings. Saute over medium-high heat until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add water and bouillon; stir until bouillon cubes dissolve. Stir in peas and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss cheese and simmer gently until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can use Cheddar cheese instead of Swiss.
