Instant Pot Black-eyed Peas Recipe– from a true Texan!

Instant Pot black-eyed peas are quick and easy for your New Years tradition (or any time of the year)! Sweet, spicy, buttery, and yummy from a true Texan.Y’all, we take our black-eyed peas tradition VERY seriously in this house. For those who don’t know, Southerners believe you’re supposed to eat black-eye peas on New Years Day for good luck in the coming year. I have exactly zero idea WHY we think that, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s an excuse to eat a yummy dish at least once a year, so who am I to question it? In fact, we take it SO seriously that my darling husband has eaten them in the sky and in several different countries over the last 8 years because I’ve made him take some with him when he’d leave on a trip. I even got up early this morning to make them for him so he’d have them for the trip he’s on this weekend! I made the version my Awmaw always made, so I did not make this Instant Pot black-eyed peas recipe this time, but I will be next week for round 6 or 7 of them (turns out my kids LOVE them!).

Taking dried black-eyed peas, water, sugar, butter (uh… it’s Southern, remember?), and maybe a little bacon in the Instant Pot makes for one heck of a bowl of deliciousness, particularly when topped with some sweet, crunchy diced onion. Adding in pickled jalapeños for some heat balances out the sweetness, but my kids aren’t fans, so we just add them to our portion, along with the sweet onion. This is not meant to be a healthy dish by a long shot, but if you’re on the healthier end of things, you can definitely cut some of the sugar and butter out!

Looking for another warm dish that makes for a perfect New Years meal? Add some tamales to this Instant Pot chili (or the traditionally-made version) and you’ve got yourself a delicious meal straight from Texas!

1 lb black-eyed peas

Jalapeños, optional

Salt and pepper to taste

Sweet onion, diced, to top

Instant Pot black-eyed peas are quick and easy for your New Years tradition (or any time of the year)! Sweet, spicy, buttery, and yummy from a true Texan.

Instructions

  2. Close the lid and set to manual high pressure for 25 minutes.
  3. Allow the pot to natural pressure release.
  4. Stir well and add salt and pepper to taste (the butter and bacon will have added some salt to it).
  5. Serve topped with sweet onion!

  • Started our summer off the way we always do— sno cones on the last day of school! 🍧🌞🏝
.
This year, we got to have the Sheehan girls with us, too. I can’t believe how big all of these kids are, but so thankful that the girls are OFFICIALLY Dallas residents so we get to do this way more often (FOREVER).

  • This funny little guy is 7 months old! Maddox is rolling all over, sitting up on his own, and loving getting to try food. I think my favorite part of the day is watching him watch his brothers (and watching his brothers play with him)— they all just think the other is God’s gift to them and them alone. (Every one of these pictures shows you where his big brothers were, based on where he’s looking. He couldn’t have cared less about Mama during the photo shoot!)
