Istruzioni

In a dutch oven (large pot) over medium heat, cook 12 ounces thick-cut bacon, 1/2-inch diced until crispy, 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. Take the bacon out, reserving the bacon drippings in the pot, and place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.

Add 1 small sweet onion, small diced to the pot with the bacon grease and cook until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 3 cloves garlic, minced and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir it in and cook for 30 seconds.

Add 1 pound dried black-eyed peas (soaked overnight and drained), 4 cups unsalted chicken stock and 2 dried bay leaves and stir it together.

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer, covered, for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally. They are done when the peas are tender.

Add 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter and stir it in to melt, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve with the crispy bacon on top.
