Creole Black Eyes And Rice For The Crock Pot

I think this recipe was originally from southern living. I adjusted it to suit our taste and this year was able to adapt it for the crock pot. Hope you enjoy!!

Steps

Sort and wash peas.
Place in a large pan , cover with warm water and allow to soak overnight.
Drain the peas and place in large 4 quart crock pot.
Add ham or ham bone to peas along with 3 cups of water.
Stir in rest of ingredients except the cooked rice and green onion fans.
Turn crock pot to low and allow to cook for 6 to 8 hours.
Stir after 5 to 6 hours and check to see if additional water may be needed.
If peas are to thick , add warm water to crock pot until desired consistency.
Serve over cooked rice and garnished with green onion fans.
