Black eyed peas are one of my favorite pantry staple foods. You can soak dried black eyed peas overnight and cook them during the day for a tasty traditional dish with cornbread and can make so many other delicious dishes.
A favorite of mine is to make this simple and easy spicy black eyed pea dip. I have to tell you though, I cheat a little in making this. I use canned black eyed peas and a canned spicy diced tomato blend, like Ro-tel. It goes together so quickly and even makes a delicious topping to go along with cooked greens or bread.
Here’s how I make it.
Drain one can of black eyed peas and then empty into a bowl.
Add a can of drained diced spicy tomatoes with chilis.
Mix together and pour into a small baking dish.
Top with grated cheese and bake until bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips or spoon over a side of greens.
A quick and simple dip using a favorite Southern black eyed peas.
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can black eyed peas, drained
- 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with chilis, drained

I’m not sure how you’ve ever survived without black eyed peas. You really do need to get on down here and let’s take care of that, STAT!
I don’t use black eyed peas enough Robyn. Love this simple dip!!
“Heck yeah!” That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this. Love, love, love it. Black eyed peas are good luck too!
Blacked peas never run low in my house so I can’t want to make this for DS when he gets home
This is right up his alley.
Oh my… This looks incredible! I have recently become addicted to the multigrain Tostitos scoops, and I’m thinking this is the perfect thing to dip them in
Yum! I love cooking with beans. So versatile and good for you.
Wow, I am sold just by the name alone! I can’t resist a good bean dip. Looks amazing with all that cheese melted on top!
Hmmmm…I was going to make Hoppin’ Johns with my Black Eyed Peas today, but I may be changing my mind after reading this. Looks really good!
