New Year’s day is a time for starting with a clean slate, out with the old and in with the new. All good southerns know you need to eat black eyed peas on New Year’s day for good luck . I am fortunate that I love black eyed peas, but I know many people that hold their noses and eat a few just because you have to. Lord knows if you don’t terrible luck may be your fate and you just can’t chance that. This Black Eyed Pea Casserole is full of flavor and is a great twist on a southern classic. It is basically a meal on it’s own. Serve it with some cabbage and cornbread and you will be eating like southern queens. Plus you will be lucky and prosperous in the new year, you just can’t test fate.
