Hot-and-Spicy Black-Eyed Peas

I've made this several times and we love it. Giving it 4 stars b/c it's so delicious. Added more water, thyme, bay leaf, pepper, touch of brown sugar. Served with rice and cornbread, it's a staple!

i made this and we liked it i used diced up ham instead of the pepperoni cause i cant eat pepperoni [heartburn] it wasnt spicey like i thought but that was okay cause my 4 year old granddaughter loved it as well as my 2 year old grandson my husband just added creole seasoning to spice it up will make it again when it gets cooler next time im gonna add sauage instead of ham will let you know how it turns out
