Servings: 8
Ingredients:

1 x  Dried black-eyed peas
1/2    Onion
1 x  Lipton Rice 'n' Sauce Cajun
1 tb Pepper
1 x  Stew Meat
1 ts Creole or Cajun seasoning
1 x  Bell pepper

Look thru peas for rocks and wash through 3 waters. Soak peas in water
overnight in fridge. The next day, throw out water they soaked in; some
claim this keeps beans from giving you a problem, but stay on this diet a
couple weeks and you won’t have a problem anyway. It goes away. Wash stew
meat and put stew meat and pre-soaked peas in big pot on stove and bring to
boil, with PLENTY of water. Add seasonings to taste. If you use Cajun
seasoning it contains salt; so don’t add extra salt!!!! Otherwise, add
salt to taste. When stew meat and peas come to a boil, reduce to Medium
and keep watching to add water so they don’t scorch. After about 40
minutes add packet of Rice and Sauce, preferably Cajun flavor. Start
watching the water really carefully now, and add a pint from time to time.
After about 20 minutes of rice cooking, add bell pepper, onion, and more
seasonings if you need. (This dish is good hot and peppery) Everything
should be ready at the same time. When test bite shows all is ready, eat!
