About Black-Eyed Peas
Golden Corral Black-Eyed Peas cost from $2.99 as a To Go side and carry 260 calories. The kitchen simmers them southern style with seasoning until the peas turn creamy inside while holding their shape, which is the texture the dish is judged on.
Black-eyed peas are a regional signature, especially across the southern states where Golden Corral has its deepest footprint: Texas at 48 locations, Florida at 30 and North Carolina at 26. They carry New Year traditions in those markets too. Serve them with pulled pork or over rice. The recipe below simmers 90 minutes.

How to Make Black-Eyed Peas at Home?
Dried peas give better texture than canned and only need a soak plus 90 minutes. The seasoning meat matters as much as the peas themselves.

Tips
- Salt late. Early salt keeps bean skins from softening, which is true of every dried legume.
- A ham hock instead of bacon gives a deeper, smokier pot.
- A splash of vinegar at the end brightens the whole dish.
Variations
- Hoppin John: serve over rice with extra pot liquor.
- Add diced tomatoes and jalapeno for a Texas lean.
- Vegetarian: use vegetable broth with smoked paprika and a splash of soy.
Serving Ideas
- Serve over white rice with cornbread on the side.
- Spoon alongside pulled pork and collards.
- Blend leftovers into a thick soup with broth.
