Couple days back somebody posted the URL for the Texas Cooking site and
I was wandering around there and tripped over this:
http://www.texascooking.com/recipes/blackeyedpeas.htm

Made it straight except for using one and a half 10 oz cans of Rotel
Tomatoes with Green Chiles instead of the crushed tomatoes. Aside from
being a tad dry at the end (I shoulda used the rest of the can of
tomatoes or an extra cup of water) it came out very well. Looks pretty
too. Check the final cooking after a half hour. Mine was done in about
40 minutes rather than the hour called for in the recipe.

Next time it'll get a couple serranos minced in to give it a little
character. I sprinkled my serving with Br'er Jim's Chile D'Arbol powder
which got it up to my standards without getting bopped by the "that's
too hot for me" contingent. 

Nice side dish for the chili going in the other pot.   :)
