Steps:

• Black eyed Peas:.
• Saute onion with ham or salt pork until onions are soft. Add both cans of black eyed peas with juices. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 - 45 minutes.
• Cabbage Dish:.
• Brown ground beef. Mix in worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add one onion, bell pepper, and celery to beef just before browned and saute for about five minutes. Slice head of cabbage into quarters and separate leaves. Mix cabbage leaves in with beef and vegetables and cook on low heat until leaves are soft but still some what crisp.

Steps:

• In a 5-qt. slow cooker, layer the first 9 ingredients in order listed (do not stir). Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until vegetables are tender. Stir in milk. Discard bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Put black-eyed peas into a large container with enough cool water to cover by a few inches; soak 8 hours to overnight.
• Put ham hocks into a stockpot with 6 cups water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until meat is falling off bone, about 90 minutes. Remove ham hocks and reserve for another use. Refrigerate the ham stock, 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain and rinse black-eyed peas thoroughly; transfer to a slow cooker. Bury one of the cooked ham hocks in the peas; add onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sugar.
• Skim congealed fat from surface of ham stock; discard. Pour stock into slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the peas by 1 1/2 inches.
• Cook on Low for 14 hours. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
• Heat bacon drippings in the same pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine chicken broth, peas, salt, and pepper in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add crumbled bacon, sauteed onion and garlic mixture, and any remaining bacon drippings.
• Cover and cook on Low until peas are tender, 4 to 6 hours.

Steps:

• Rinse black eyed peas, and follow package directions for quick soak (Boil for two minutes, then let sit for one hour). Rinse again, drain and place in slow cooker.
• Dissolve 3 chicken bullion cubes in a cup of hot water. (I usually put them in a coffee mug of water and microwave for about a minute and a half to dissolve.) Pour into the slow cooker. Add additional water if needed so that there is about 3/4 inch of liquid covering the peas.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir just to get them wet. Note: If using fresh instead of dried minced onion, the amount would be about 1/2 cup. I use dried because they are already minced very finely and my family doesn't even notice it's in there that way. I also use refrigerated minced garlic and crumbled bacon from costco. That way I always have the ingredients on hand. Add a little salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours. Taste and add additional garlic, salt and pepper if needed according to your preference. Serve with corn bread.
