Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 lb andouille sausage, sliced (or other smoked sausage)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black-eyed peas
  • 1 (1/4 ounce) packet sazon goya (don't use the version with annatto)
  • cayenne pepper sauce, to taste (I like a lot!)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • In a large saucepan, cook the bacon and sausage.
  • Drain most of the fat, laving about a tablespoon or so, and add the onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and celery. Cook until tender, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes, until thoroughly heated, then serve over white rice (some collard greens on the side is an excellent complement, too!).
