Directions
Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Stir in 1 1/2 cups brown rice, reduce heat to lowest setting, cover tightly, and let simmer 45 minutes or until tender and water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, break up sausage into a skillet and brown over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in onion, garlic, and green peppers and saute 3-5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Serve over rice or mix it all together when rice is done. May be served with sour cream and salsa.

You may leave out the sausage for a wonderful vegan recipe or add cheese for more calcium.

    YUm, yum, yum!
    Very good. Added 1/2 cup of corn to the mix and way more chile because we like-a the spice!
    Thanks - this is the first time I've ever made back-eyed peas! - 2/6/11
