5 Bacon slices -- small pieces
2 tbs Jalapenos -- finely chopped
1 Garlic Clove -- minced
1 pinch Black Pepper -- freshly ground
2 Beef Bouillon Cubes
3 cups Cheddar Chs -- grated
1 cup Onion -- chopped
2 cans Mexican Stewed Tomatoes -- diced
1 pinch Salt
3 cups Water
4 cans Black-eyed Peas* -- drained

*Use 15.8 ounce cans of black-eyed peas. Saute bacon in large saucepan until lightly browned.
Add onion, jalapenos, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper to bacon drippings; saute 5 minutes. Add water and bouillon, dissolving the cubes in the mixture. Add peas to bouillon mixture. Add cheese and simmer gently until cheese is melted.

(Instead of chopping jalapenos, I use the canned black eyed peas with jalapeno)

You get protein from the bacon, tomatoes and peas! It is one of my winter favorites and is so flavorful!
