I personally loved the collard greens in with my black eyed peas, but you can totally omit them from this recipe if you prefer. These peas slow cooked all day with the smoked sausage creates the most savory and filling southern dish. Serve it with some pepper sauce and cornbread for the perfect meal you’ll make all winter long!

Equipment You’ll Need

For these black eyed peas and collard greens, all you need is a large crockpot. That’s literally it! Mine is the crockpot brand one. You can get them at Walmart for like $20. They are super affordable.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Black Eyed Peas:

I used two one-pound bags of dried black-eyed peas. You could use canned, but they may overcook.

Collard Greens:

I used about 3 cups of chopped collard greens. I like collards for this recipe, but you can totally omit them altogether if you wish. You also could use the green of your choice.

Smoked Sausage:

I used a package of smoked sausage. It was a 14-ounce package. You can use more or less.
