Lucky Blackeyed Peas

Ingredients

1 package dried black eyed peas

4 slices bacon, sliced thin

1 onion, chopped

1 cup fresh Braum's salsa

1 jalapeño, chopped

3 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

cilantro, garnish

Instructions

Here is a little tip to get your peas ready if you forgot to soak them overnight: Place the dried black eyed peas in a microwave safe bowl. Fill with water and then cover completely with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 14 minutes. Drain. (just like soaking them overnight but in 15 minutes!)

In a large pot sauté bacon and onion. Pour in the drained beans and then add in 3 cups of broth, salsa, salt and pepper and jalapeño for more heat!. Cover with a lid for one hour and cook till tender! Garnish with cilantro.
