Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausages, sliced
4 15-oz cans black eyed peas (do not drain)
2 10-oz cans diced tomatoes and green chilies (do not drain)
3 cups beef broth
1 cup white onion, chopped
3/4 cup green bell peppers, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 1/2 cups boil-in-bag rice, uncooked

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for your slow cooker Hoppin John.
Brown the sausage slices in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once they’re nicely caramelized, transfer them to the Crockpot.
Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours.
Add the rice and stir it in. Cover and cook on High for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.

Notes

You can smash some of the beans and stir if you like your Hoppin John creamier. On the other hand, just add more broth if it's too thick.
If you like your beans with extra heat, use dirty rice and add red pepper flakes!
No Crockpot? No problem! You can brown the sausages in a Dutch oven, drain them, and use the same pot for the veggies. Once fragrant, add the canned tomatoes, beans, cooked sausages, and broth. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
