Directions

Step #1 In a 4 qt or pan brown bacon & cook onion in bacon grease until the onion is transparent.

Step #3 Add uncooked rice, black eyed peas (with juice) & water to your bacon onion mixture.
Step #4 Mix well.
Step #5 **For vegan add liquid smoke at this point to replace the smoke flavor that would have been added by the bacon.
Step #6 Bring to a boil & then reduce heat to medium.
Step #7 When the tops of the bursting bubbles of boiling water are all of the liquid that can be seen above the rice, remove the pan from the heat & cover.
