An easy spicy dish. Adjust the spices to your needs - less Creole Seasoning if you like it mild, add chili powder or cayenne pepper for more kick! This is also good with salsa on top. You can substitute 1/2 pound dried black-eyed peas, cooked for the canned black-eyed peas if you wish.

Made this for new years day. No one really cared that much for it until we took SSink's advice and added the salsa on top...then everyone thought it was great. Served with cornbread. Read More

(this is my own recipe just noticed some omissions in the final published version)... You can use 1/2 lb. of soaked dried black eyed peas if you want. This is more of a main dish than a side dish but I didn't pick the catagory it ended up being listed in. This is also good with salsa on top. Read More

I thought this was really good. The only thing is that I added a lot to it. I added to minced garlic cloves in the beginning. I also put at least 2 TB of creole and almost 1TB of chili powder. I would give it five stars if it weren't for the blandness I tasted before adding to it. I also used ground turkey. Read More

This reminded me of dirty rice and the black-eyed peas were a great enhancement - yum. I did make a few modifications though. I used ground sausage instead of ground beef and I used 1/2 c. of chopped onions and 1/2 c. of chopped green pepper. I will definitely make this again! Read More

This was fantastic! I didn't have a green pepper so I used a can of Ro Tel tomatoes and chiles and the result was great. I might try adding a bit more seasoning next time but all in all this is a keeper! Thank you!! Read More

tasty easy healthy - this is what I love in a recipe. I too added a bit of minced garlic to the beef onions and pepper during browning. just a nice overall mix of flavors and textures. for one helping i squirted some lime juice over my bowl (I don't know why) and I thought that tasted pretty good too.
