Rinse well under cold water, then soak dried beans overnight in a good size bowl of water!. In the morning, discard any beans that floated to the top, then rinse well again & place into crock pot!. Add 1lb hamhock or fatback, 1 medium onion chopped, 1 clove diced garlic, 1 stick of butter, salt & pepper and enough water to cover!. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours stirring very rarely & adding water as needed!. Serve with homemade cornbread, sliced sweet onion, chow-chow & butter!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Yummy!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

An easy way, is to get some Black Eye peas in a Can!. I would buy a couple of cans!. The 1st thing you would want to do is fry up some ham pieces or seasoning Bacon (This is the type of bacon that is used primarily for seasoning purposes only)!. Keep the meat and drippings off the meat and add it to the Black Eye Peas and simmer about 15 minutes!. Add Pepper to taste and believe me it's just like homemade!. No one would be able to tell the difference!. Don't forget about the cornbread and Greens!Www@FoodAQ@Com

if they are dried yes,
soak overnight if you can or most of the day
drain and add fresh water to cover + about 3" over
add a ham hock, fatback, bacon, or bacon grease for seasoning
don't salt until they are tender, if you salt at the beginning of the cooking time they will be tough
simmer for about 4 hour at med temp!.
or put soaked beans and seasoning etc!. in crock pot and cook on low all dayWww@FoodAQ@Com

I never soak mine!.!.!.!.!.they turn out better if you dont, i never soak any beansWww@FoodAQ@Com
