Black Eyed Peas Hash with Sauteed Corn, Peppers, and Scrambled Eggs




I am really excited about our dish today! This dish is inspired straight from my Texas foodie blog following friend, Miss Lady Alexander.

Miss Lady contacted me last week about a catered work event that included a dish that was so good that it must be made immediately.

 
Herein lies the issue, Miss Lady and I had no clue what the dish was called. Miss Lady gave me the ingredients and I still couldn't think of the name of this dish.


I faintly remembered eating something similar in Mexico made with pinto beans and elotes (Mexican corn). 


So here is where we're starting folks. The dish included black-eyed peas, corn, and peppers and served with scrambled eggs.

I decided to take those ingredients given to me by Miss Lady and create a Black-Eyed Peas Hash!

This is a 20 minute meal folks...with the help of Glory Foods Black-eyed Peas

If you would like to make your black eyed peas from scratch, check out my Slow Cooker Black Eyed Peas Recipe!

 
The results of this dish are beyond tasty!

You have the nice creamy, highly seasoned black eyed peas, with the sweet corn, all sauteed with peppers, garlic, and onion.

Then you take the cheesy eggs and this is pure food heaven!

Big Goo and Baby Girl sat at the table quietly eating, no one said a word...until the food was all gone...then they spoke and said that was the best brunch I've ever fixed them. 

Shocker, coming from Big Goo the meat eater, but he loved it!

I would like to personally thank Miss Lady for the inspiration, and I hope she enjoys recreating this recipe as I much as I did!
