      Yield: 8 servings 
  
      1 x  -Dried black-eyed peas 
    1/2    Onion 
  
  1 x Lipton Rice 'n' Sauce Cajun 
  1 tb Pepper 
  1 x Stew Meat 
  1 ts Creole or Cajun seasoning 
  1 x Bell pepper 
       Cayenne pepper or hot sauce 
   
  Look thru peas for rocks and wash through 3 waters. Soak peas in water 
  overnight in fridge.  The next day, throw out water they soaked in; some 
  claim this keeps beans from giving you a problem, but stay on this diet a 
  couple weeks and you won't have a problem anyway. It goes away. Wash stew 
  meat and put stew meat and pre-soaked peas in big pot on stove and bring to 
  boil, with PLENTY of water. Add seasonings to taste. If you use Cajun 
  seasoning it contains salt; so don't add extra salt!!!! Otherwise, add salt 
  to taste.  When stew meat and peas come to a boil, reduce to Medium and 
  keep watching to add water so they don't scorch. After about 40 minutes add 
  packet of Rice and Sauce, preferably Cajun flavor. Start watching the water 
  really carefully now, and add a pint from time to time. After about 20 
  minutes of rice cooking, add bell pepper, onion, and more seasonings if you 
  need.  (This dish is good hot and peppery) Everything should be ready at 
  the same time. When test bite shows all is ready, eat!
