Ingredients

Directions

black-eyed peas
water
salt
bacon grease
Cook black-eyed peas in salted water until tender and most of water has been absorbed.
Season to taste, with salt and bacon grease.
Mash with potato masher until consistency of mashed potatoes.
Serve with Baked Tomatoes - a must.
It was not until after I was married that I discovered not everybody cooks black-eyed peas this way. Some folks don’t know you’re supposed to smash them!
