Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 16 oz bacon
  • 1 lb dry black eyed peas ((1 lb bag usually has 2-2 1/4 cups of peas))
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper

Instruction

  • Rinse peas and set them aside. 
  • Dice raw bacon into small pieces. Make sure your knife is sharp and bacon is cold to make it easier to cut. 
  • Turn Instant Pot to Saute and let it heat up. Add a little bit of oil to the bottom of the pot and add bacon. Saute bacon until browned. 
  • Add peas to the pot and mix. 
  • Add water, chicken stock, some salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. (Don't add too much salt since bacon is salty.) 
  • Stir and close the lid and make sure it's latched. Turn the valve to "seal" and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure cook mode for 30 minutes.
  • Let it do a natural release for 10-15 minutes.
  • Fluff up peas and serve.
