This was good, but one teaspoon of black pepper is too much. I'll try 1/2 teaspoon next time. We will probably also add a drop or two of hot sauce to our individual plates at the table.

I found this to be very very bland, Don't think I would make it again.

My husband thought this recipe was okay, but I didn't like it. I used 2 T of seasoning and Bush's canned peas. It was too salty - I would recommend using 1T of seasoning and adding cayenne pepper to increase flavor and decrease salt.

I cooked this for my fiance and he absoulutly loved it. We're from down south so we love spicy food & this was a great recipe for our pea's & rice. We added cayenne pepper & brocolli. Its a must try.

I made black eyed peas last night and no one ate it. So, tonight I had tons of leftovers and I tried using them on this recipe. I made it without the rice and we ate it with fresh tomatoe slices on the side. It was delicious! These were the best black eyed peas we have ever had!

Every year our family gets together for Thanksgiving dinner. Each family is in charge of bringing a variety of things. I usually like to think outside the box and bring something I have never cooked before or bring something we haven't eaten before. I found this recipe and decided to try it out for this special occasion. To my delight it smelled absolutely delicious and tasted better than any (dirty rice) combination I have eaten. I received lots of compliments on this dish and was asked for the recipe... I even make it for dinner sometimes with some cornbread!!! Matter of fact... I think we will have it tonight! LOL.... This is an excellent quick and simple meal!

Good black eye pea recipe, I made it with purple hulled peas and loved it.

My thirteen year old son loved this recipe. I thought he would never eat black eyed peas. I used italian seasoning instead of the Creole seasoning

Substituted ground turkey and added some stewed tomatoes to make up for the lost meat fat flavour and it was wonderful. Will definitely make this one again.

I made this to up hold the New Years Black Eye Pea tradition. What a geat dish!! I did double the creole and added chilli pepper, I liked the kick. I also used ground turkey instead of the beef, and chopped garlic in place of garlic powder. It made a lot of food, and everyone was pleasantly surprised that Black Eye Peas can actually taste good! Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to have leftovers today!

I've been making this for years. Try adding some sausage to it cut into bit size pieces. My family loves it!

Always looking for ways to get my 2 year old to eat veggies and this one was a hit! We like a lot of flavor, so I added an extra tsp of creole seasoning and doubled the garlic powder, used the canned black-eyed peas that are seasoned with bacon and added two crumbled up slices of bacon left from breakfast. My daughter declared it "DEE-lisus!" so what more could I ask for?? LOL! Will cut the ingredients in half next time, because this made a TON of food.

tasty, easy, healthy - this is what I love in a recipe. I too added a bit of minced garlic to the beef, onions, and pepper during browning. just a nice overall mix of flavors and textures. for one helping i squirted some lime juice over my bowl (I don't know why) and I thought that tasted pretty good too.

Made this for new years day. No one really cared that much for it until we took SSink's advice, and added the salsa on top...then everyone thought it was great. Served with cornbread.

This was great! We ate this dish with filet mignon, so I omitted the ground beef. Also, because my kids were also eating this, I scaled back the Cajun seasoning to 2 teaspoons. Thank you for sharing.

Great for New Years Day!

I thought this was really good. The only thing is that I added a lot to it. I added to minced garlic cloves in the beginning. I also put at least 2 TB of creole and almost 1TB of chili powder. I would give it five stars if it weren't for the blandness I tasted before adding to it. I also used ground turkey.
