Smoky Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas
I’ve never been a huge fan of beans, not because I don’t like the flavor, but because so much work goes into making them! (I feel like most people go for the canned version, which is totally fine, but they don’t taste quite the same to me!) I finally figured out that you can toss them in the slow cooker and just let them do their thing, so it’s actually a painless process! Cook up a big batch and add them into your meals all week long, beans are pretty versatile, so grab your slow cooker and let’s make my Smoky Slow Cooker Black Eyes Peas!

Side note: Beans and peas are both legumes, and although black eyed peas are called peas, they’re actually beans. Hope I didn’t lose ya there!
