This is a classic southern US dish of black eyed peas and ham served over rice or even as a side dish. To dress this up, I added what I had in my fridge, bell peppers, celery, and bacon, delicious! I cooked the beans from dry the day before, and cooked chicken the day before as well for the broth.

How To Make hoppin john (slow cooker)

Step 1

Drain the beans and add to your slow cooker. I used cooked dry beans.

Step 2

Add remaining ingredients to your slow cooker. I added red and green bell peppers, celery, and bacon as variants as well as homemade chicken broth.
Step 3

Give the pot a stir then cover and set to Low setting for 4 to 6 hours but anything past 8 hours and the beans will be really soft.
Step 4

Stir the pot once an hour. Here it is at 4 hours, and it is perfect.
Step 5

Serve over rice for a main dish or serve as is without rice as a side dish. Enjoy.
