- Begin by sorting through the dried black eyed peas to remove any debris. Rinse them well under cold water to ensure they’re clean and ready for cooking.

- Gently pour the beef broth over the peas and ham bone, making sure everything is well-coated.
- Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for about 8-10 hours. Check for tenderness once done.
