We made this for our 2021 New Year’s Eve celebration, and everyone like it. It’s going to be a keeper; not only for NYE, but for tailgating, too.
SO glad you all enjoyed it!
I made this for my 2020 New Year's Day black-eyed pea dish, and it was delicious! My boyfriend isn't a huge fan of black-eyed peas, but they simply aren't optional on NYD so I usually have to get creative and sneaky when deciding how to serve them each year. But this year he RAVED about this dip! It was the perfect snacky food for lounging around watching bowl games. Unless you come up with something even more awesome for next year, I don't see any reason to ever serve my black-eyed peas any other way. Thanks for this winner! Happy New Year!
