Cheesy Black Eyed Pea Dip Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and then add onions. Saute until golden then add garlic, jalapeno and chilies and cook for 1 minute.
• 2. Lower heat and add cheddar cheese, stir until melted. Add the black-eyed peas and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, cumin and chipotle powder if you'd like a bit more heat. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Soak and rinse the peas then cook according to package directions (or use three 15-ounce cans of black-eyed peas); drain and set aside.
• Whir together the jalapeño peppers, onion, and garlic in a food processor until smooth; set aside.
• Over high heat in a double boiler over boiling water, combine the butter and cheese and stir together until the cheese is melted.
• Lower heat to medium and add the green chilies, cooked peas, pepper mixture, and remaining ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Pour into serving dish and serve immediately, hot, with tortilla chips.
• Some folks add about a 1/2 cup of cooked corn to the dip, as well, but I prefer it without.
• If you're diabetic and avoiding carbohydrates, you can substitute black soybeans for the peas and it'll taste pretty much the same but will be much lower in carbs (and higher in fiber).

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy pot.
• Add onion and garlic.
• Saute until tender.
• Reduce heat and add cheese and peppers.
• Cook over low heat stirring constantly.
• Stir in peas and heat through.
• Serve with chips.
