Black Eyed Pea Pot Pie For Cozy Season

Black eyed peas aren’t just for New Years. That’s my argument every time I whip up a black eyed pea recipe. They’re a year round pantry staple and take no time to cook from dry beans. 

Simple to make, this black eyed peas and cornbread pie is made in one pot with the bulk of the veggies cooked first on the stove top. Then, cornbread batter is spooned on top and baked in the oven. Clean up is a snap! 

Here’s why you’ll love this recipe:

  • Packed with good for you ingredients
  • One pot easy
  • Perfect for casual weekends or holidays
  • Freezer friendly

Chopped onions and bell pepper on a cutting board.    Sauteed veggies in a Dutch oven. Cutting Sweet Potato on a Cutting Board  Stirring in Swiss Chard in the base of the pot pie.

Ingredients for this Black Eyed Pea Cornbread Casserole

Sweet potatoes, chard and caramelized onions round out the bulk of this pot pie. It’s a comforting combination of flavors with a good balance of sweet and spicy. The cornbread crust is as Southern as my Ma with a little bit of sweetness sprinkled in for good measure; just like her. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

For the Filling:

  • Onions – red or yellow
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Dry Black Eyed Peas
  • AP Flour
  • Veggie Broth
  • Tomato Paste
  • Garlic 
  • Herbs
  • Mustard
  • Swiss Chard
  • Sweet Potato

For the Cornbread Topping:

  • AP Flour
  • Cornmeal
  • Baking Powder + Baking Soda
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Milk, or Plant Milk
  • Butter, or Vegan Butter
  • Sage

How to Make Black Eyed Peas and Cornbread Pot Pie

Black eyed pea sweet potato cornbread pot pie is a crowd pleaser. It freezes well and makes delicious leftovers. And while there are several steps in the cooking process, it’s made in one pot for quick service and clean up. Here’s how to make it:

  • First, in a 3 or 4 quart dutch oven (I use 3 qt – 8″ diameter – but have a bit of spill over while baking), caramelize the onions on medium low for about 30 minutes. Use this cook time to prep the remaining veggies.
  • Second, add the bell pepper and saute to soften. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and pepper and stir to coat. Stir in the broth, tomato paste, garlic, dry black eyed peas and herb sprigs. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile chop the chard. 
  • Next, fish out the herb sprigs and discard. Add the potatoes and mustard, stir and cook for 15 minutes or until just fork tender. Preheat the oven to 425F and prepare the cornbread crust.
  • Last, Use a large #20 cookie scoop or 3 Tbs each, drop scoop-fulls of cornbread on top of the filling. Sprinkle top with chopped sage and bake. 

Share piping hot with a big salad. Don’t forget a few glugs of Tabasco! Jalapeños are a welcome addition as well in this vegetarian black eyed pea recipe, if you’re into spicy things.

A Few Recipe Notes

  • Perfect for holidays (not just New Years)! This black eyed pea cornbread casserole feeds a small crowd and is festive and hearty enough for your holiday table. 
  • The onions need a good solid 30 minutes to caramelize. This is the base of the recipe and offers so much flavor. It’s a process not to be rushed.
  • Freezer friendly! This black eyed peas with cornbread recipe freezes with ease. Store leftovers in lidded individual containers or a casserole dish in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator over night and warm in a 350F oven for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through. 
  • Make it dairy free! Replace the butter and milk with dairy free butter and milk. Be sure to cut the salt by half if using salted vegan butter. 

Makers Notes

I love reading your adaptations about how you make the recipe work for you! Keep em’ comin! 

  • Jennifer subbed “gluten free flour in place of the AP.”
  • Carrie made this recipe with soy milk, chickpea flour, and kale.
  • Veronika made this recipe in a 3.6 Qt, 12″ in Dutch oven (see video in recipe card). 
  • Mitzi scaled the recipe to fit in a 10″ cast iron skillet.

Black Eyed Pea Sweet Potato Cornbread Pot Pie Recipe

Cook Time:1 hour 35 minutes

Servings:6 -7 Generous Servings
Calories:508kcal
Author:Vanilla And Bean | Traci York
[VIDEO below] Southern comfort food at its best, this pot pie is packed with caramelized onions, sweet potatoes, black eye peas, chard, bell pepper, and herbs, topped with a sweet cornbread crust. Perfect for a cold winter's night.
*Note the type of cornmeal and diameter of pot used can make a difference in recipe outcome, but still with delicious results. The pot pie in the pictures are made in an 8" Dutch oven using Bob's Red Mill ingredients, while the video pot pie is made in a 12" Dutch oven with Gold brand flour and PAN cornflour - which results in a stiffer batter (see below). This recipe is vegetarian and easily dairy free.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 Tbs Coconut or Olive Oil unrefined virgin
  • 4 C (310g) Purple Onions sliced into 1/2 moons (about 3 large onions)
  • 3/4 tsp Sea Salt divided
  • 1 1/2 C (180g) Red Bell Pepper seeded and medium dice (about 1 large pepper)
  • 1/4 C (40g) All Purpose Flour
  • 5 C (1.1kg) Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Tbs Tomato Paste
  • 4 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 C (85g) Dried Black Eyed Peas rinsed and sorted
  • 2 Springs of Herbs Each: Thyme, Sage, Rosemary tied together with cooking twine
  • 2 Tbs Dijon Mustard
  • 4 C (120g) Swiss or Rainbow Chard ribboned, chopped and packed for measure
  • 3 C (315g) Sweet Potato peeled and diced into 1/2" cubes (about 1 medium or 1 lb)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Tabasco
  • 10 grinds of pepper

For the Cornbread Crust:

  • 1 C (155g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 C (115g) Yellow Cornmeal medium grind, I like Bob's Red Mill
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 Tbs Granulated Sugar or honey
  • 1 C (250g) Milk plant or dairy
  • 1 Egg lightly whisked
  • 3 Tbs Butter melted and slightly cooled, sub plant butter if dairy free
  • 1 1/2 Tbs Fresh Sage chopped

Instructions

For the Filling:

  • In a 3 or 4 quart dutch oven (I typically use 3 qt, 8" wide DO but have a bit of spill over while baking), add the coconut oil and heat until shimmering. Add the onions and 1/4 tsp salt. Caramelize the onions on medium low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use this cook time to prep the remaining veggies. 
  • Add the bell pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes just to soften. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and pepper and stir to coat. Stir in the broth, tomato paste, garlic, dry black eyed peas and herb sprigs. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Fish out the herb sprigs and discard. Add the potatoes and mustard, stir and cook for 15 minutes or until just fork tender. While the potatoes are cooking preheat the oven to 425F and prepare the cornbread crust.
  • To the filling, add the chard and Tobasco. Stir in and cook until just wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove filling from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning and/or heat.

For the Cornbread Crust:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together: flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar (be sure to cut the salt by half if using salted vegan butter). To the dry ingredients add the milk, whisked egg and melted butter. Stir until all ingredients are just incorporated.

To Assemble and Bake:

  • Using a large #20 cookie scoop or 3 Tbs, drop scoop-fulls of cornbread on top of the filling. Fill in the gaps, with smaller scoops as needed until all the cornbread mixture is used up. There will be some gaps on top of the pot pie. This is okay, as those gaps will fill in as the pot pie bakes. Sprinkle top with chopped sage.
  • Set the pot pie on a parchment or silpat lined sheet pan (to catch any spill over) and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until top is set and slightly golden.

      Hi Patti! Thank you for your note and giving the recipe a go! SO happy you enjoyed the flavors but darn it on the peas. BEPs don’t need to be soaked, unless desired. It only marginally reduces the cook time if they are soaked – this recipe doesn’t include soaking. Sometimes if peas/beans are older they’ll take longer to cook. If you make the recipe again, check the peas before putting the cornbread on top. They should be soft, but not mushy. If they’re not quite there, keep cooking until tender, then put the cornbread on top. I hope this helps!

    Hello Traci, Love the use of chard here, don’t see enough! I usually make corn bread as a side with the pot of beans. As I like thick soup I will try making this as a pie! Should make a great main course!! Thanx! Happy Holidaze!!raf

    Yum! I made this today for New Year’s and I honestly didn’t know what to expect for taste, but it was delicious! I was short on sweet potato volume so I added a carrot and a little celery. Also used a yellow onion instead of red. Oh, and gluten free flour in place of the AP. It all worked! Thank you for all your great recipes!

    Really delicious and I froze a couple leftover servings. The cornbread added a nice texture and “melted” into the filling! I also used the slow cook black eyed peas and ended up adding a bit more which turned out well. Definitely will make this recipe again!

    Traci, I love the recipe, it’s delicious! Made it 3 times now and always been perfect. Tonight when I made it, my cornbread sunk into the liquid while cooking and while still ok, it wasn’t great. Any idea what I did wrong?

    It was really delicious. I followed the recipe as written except I had to sub 1/2 extra cup of flour to replace the 1/2 cup cornmeal that I didn’t have in the pantry. The biscuit dough rose exceptionally well and covered the entire casserole and looked beautiful. I also though the stew was sweet and flavorful and healthy. Nice recipe.

    Happy New Year, Traci! Glad you had an extended, though unintended, respite. This potpie recipe has been in my cold weather rotation for a couple of years now and I love being able to swap in whatever I have on hand. I seriously make potpies once every 2 weeks because I can use up leftovers, and one pot meals are my favorite. The cornbread crust on this one is the best!

    Thank you for this recipe. I had an odd mix of stored (sweet potatoes), home canned (purple-hulled peas), and frozen produce (peppers) from my garden and the grocery store (onions and a bell pepper) to use up, and this recipe fit the bill nicely. Some recently picked bok choi even worked instead of the chard. I did cut the recipe to fit a 10-inch cast iron skillet (Thou shalt make thy cornbread in cast iron in my neck of the woods), but it worked out great! Thank you!

      Hey Kimberley! Thank you for your note. While I’ve not tested this recipe without an egg, you could try a 1:1 egg replacer or 1/3 C unsweetened applesauce (because apple sauce is naturally sweet, try leaving out or reducing the sugar). I’ve not had success with flax eggs in some baking recipes – I’m not sure if they’d work in this. I hope this helps!

    I tried this last night and loved it. It has wonderful flavor and beautiful color. Since I love to bake and normally don’t cook, I can’t believe it came out of my kitchen. One of my kids tried it, but didn’t love it as much as my husband and me…though I’ll try again and again. If anyone has a similar recipe that might be more kid-friendly (read: bland), I’m all ears.

      Hooray Kelly! Day made! It’s one of my favorites too! No doubt, black eyed peas are such a delicious staple in our home and I’m always finding new ways to enjoy them. I love your statement(!!) “who needs meat!” Fabulous! SO happy you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for sharing!

    Hello! I made this last night but since o didn’t have black eyed peas I used black beans instead. Regrettably the black beans didn’t cook up in time to be done with the rest of the ingredients. Aren’t black eyed peas a bean as well? I thought for sure they would cook up at the same time but thought I’d check with you. The rest of it was SPECTACULAR, though. An incredible flavor! I’ll make it again, definitely, once I figure out my black bean issue.

      Hi Dani! Thank you for writing and letting us know how you liked the pot pie. Black eyed peas are in the same family as black beans (Legumes), however bean cooking time varies. From my understanding, black eyed peas (BEP) take less time to cook than black beans (BB), at 45-60 min for BEP and 60-90 minutes for BB. For the BEPs in this recipe, cook time tops out at about 65 minutes. If using black beans again, give them a longer than 25 minute simmer before adding the potatoes and cornbread topping. That’ll give them a bit more time to cook. Thank you again for writing! I hope you’ll give this a go again. The black eyed peas are fabulous!

    Hi Katie! When working with dried black eyed peas, in this recipe, just sort through them making sure there’s no small stones, and give them a rinse under running water. At this point you’re ready to use them in this recipe! The peas go in the pot dry and they’ll cook up with all the other ingredients. Thanks for asking Katie!
