Ingredients

2 cups cooked black-eyed peas (use can or fresh cooked dried black eyed peas)

1 cup cooked long grain rice

1/4 cup butter

4 cups torn fresh spinach (10 oz pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained, can be substitued)

4 slices bacon, cut into 1" pieces

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (any brand will do, I use Tabasco)

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Have cooked black-eyed peas and rice ready.

In 2 qt. saucepan melt butter. Stir in spinach and bacon.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until spinach is tender (4 to 6 minutes).

Stir in black-eyed peas, rice and remaining ingredients except Cheddar cheese.

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until heated through (7 to 10 minutes).

Just before serving, stir in Cheddar cheese.

Serve with hot corn bread!

This looks good. I'm sending it along to my one daughter who thinks that black-eyed peas are a food group.

I like the looks of this! by the way, did you ever try Crystal pepper sauce? It may be a little milder than Tabasco but mmmm the flavor is so nice and peppery.
