Cover peas with a few inches of water.
Add bouillon and Creole to taste.
Boil slowly until tender.
Cut bacon into chunks and saute with onion and garlic.
Drain fat and add to pea stock.
Add bell pepper and ham.
Continue low boil until pepper is tender.
Add instant rice about 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy and prosper!

Thanks for reminding me...
My relatives from Va. always servered Hopin John (black eyed peas and rice) on New Years, for good luck...they always served collard greens to represent folded MONEY ...as a side dish.

Must be eaten by sundown!!!

Nice recipe, LTG! I do mine just about the same as yours, except I use brown basmati rice, and cook it separately. My mother always insisted that we use hog jowl. She still goes nuts, demanding every year that I go out and try to find some smoked jowl. I just lie to her, and put in ham and bacon... she never knows the difference...
