Tender chunks of beef absorb the rich, savory broth & tomatoes, while the peas add a delightful creaminess and subtle nutty flavor. This dish is a testament to the versatility of the crockpot and is a true set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker recipe. Add all the ingredients to the pot, give it a good stir, and let it cook. Go about your day while the meal practically prepares itself. The end result is a flavorful bowl of shredded beef and tender black eyed-peas.
