My grandma always made Hoppin' John on New Year's Day when I was growing up in Virginia. I now live in New Mexico and decided to put a spicy Southwestern spin on her recipe. It's simple and tasty, and has some heat.

Ingredients

  • butter: 2 Tbsp
  • yellow onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • red bell pepper: 1 piece (chopped)
  • Jalapeno peppers: 2 piece (chopped)
  • garlic: 2 clove (minced)
  • white rice: 2 cups (cooked)
  • black-eyed peas: 1 can (15 ounce can, drained and rinsed)
  • tomatoes with habaneros (such as Rotel Hot): 1 can (10 ounce can, drained, diced)
  • slices cooked bacon: 4 piece (chopped)
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
