Equipment

  • 1 Slow cooker or Crock pot

Ingredients

  • 45 ounces canned black eyed peas (3 cans) undrained
  • 1.5 pounds boneless (thick) pork chops
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Grab your slow cooker, crock pot, or pressure cooker with a slow cooker setting. Using a large bowl, place the 1.5 pounds pork chops in it and season both sides of each pork chop with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.

  • Open and pour the three cans (45 ounces) of black eyed peas along with the liquid from each can into the bottom of the crock pot. Spread out into an even layer.

Notes

  • Use canned black eyed peas and keep the liquid, this becomes the flavorful cooking broth.
  • Thick-cut boneless pork chops hold up best in the slow cooker and turn tender without falling apart.
  • For more heat, add Cajun seasoning, diced jalapeños, or a pinch of cayenne.
  • To make it creamier, mash a scoop of peas and stir them back into the slow cooker.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and freeze well for 1–2 months.
