New Year's Day Black Eyed Peas {Slow Cooker} #Beans #lima #beans #recipe #healthy

The years in the past I always think to make these New Year’s Day Black-Eyed Peas too late in the day. Some think that eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day will bring prosperity in the new year.

In the morning I will drain that water off the beans, and add the chicken broth and other ingredients. These beans need to get going early in the morning so they can get 10 hours of cooking. If you forget to soak your beans overnight, use this quick soak method.
