Add my name to the southern tradition of pork, black-eyed peas and greens on New Year's.
What about a big pot of soup or chili and hotdogs. You could have all the different toppings for a good bowl of chili, chili dogs, etc. That would be something the adults and kids would enjoy. I made a big pot of hamburger vegetable soup the other night. You could always rinse a can of black-eyed peas and add that as well (for good luck), but I wouldn't do it until closer to the end so they don't become mush. I would also add a little more liquid if adding the peas.
Here's the recipe for Hamburger Vegetable Soup:
3 lbs ground chuck (beef, sirloin, your choice)
1 cup chopped onion
3 cans beef broth
3 cups water
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup sliced carrots
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 cans tomatoes with juice
1 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
In a large stock pot, Brown meat and onions together. Drain well. Return meat and onions to pot and add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer over low-med low heat for two hours, stirring occassionally.
