Ingredients:





          -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


      Cayenne pepper or hot sauce


 


 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!
