Cheaters Hoppin' John

I discovered a wonderful thing in the Publix veggie freezer section - field peas with sugar snaps. I'm going to make a cheaters Hoppin' John tonight. Here's how:

Saute up 1lb of cut up bacon; once crisp remove to a plate with paper towels. Pour off some of the drippings, but leave a few tablespoons. Chop up an onion and saute in the drippings. Add 2lb bag of field peas and enough water to cover. Simmer until tender.

Serve over rice with crumbled bacon bits on top. Suggested other garnishes include chopped sweet onion or scallions, chopped parsley, and of course, Tabasco.
