Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices thick bacon, diced
  • 1 12-14 oz package smoked sausage, diced (I used andouille)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 14.5- oz cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning, or more to taste
  • hot cooked rice, for serving
  • sliced green onions, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat for a few minutes to render some of the fat. Add the smoked sausage and lightly brown. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, then add the black-eyed peas, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Season to taste with additional Cajun seasoning, if needed, and ladle over hot cooked rice. Top with green onions and serve.
