Happy New Year!! I love a good tradition and absolutely love when my traditions involve an associated delicious food! I’ve always been told that if you eat black- eyed peas and cabbage that will set you up for health, wealth, and happiness for the New Year! I’m not certain which foods do what things but bring on all the peas and cabbage! With the never ending pandemic I think I’ll go back for another dose of these yummy Black-Eyed Peas!
These peas are a delicious blend of sausage, diced tomatoes, and chili seasoning. It really is super easy to make and full of so much flavor, with just a handful of ingredients. I don’t know why but I only let myself enjoy them on New Years but that certainly has me looking forward to them all year long!
I enjoyed having some helpful assistants with me! This really is a great meal to get some help from the little ones when making (obviously with a cooled Dutch Oven)!

Notes
