Directions:
Drain water from black eyed peas if soaked. Put pot over fire, add 2 c.
water and boil. While that's working, fry up bacon nice and crisp. Add
beans and rice to water along with salt, pepper and a couple tablespoons
of the bacon drippings. Bring to boil again, then move pot away from
fire till it is just a simmer. Put the lid on and cook 20-35 minutes
until rice is done and water all absorbed. Crumble up bacon and stir in,
and eat.
