Here in Sooner Country, it's no secret the Texas Longhorns are our big sports rival. Some of you may know their school songs says, "The Eyes Of Texas Are Upon You." I had to snicker to myself at the name of this dish. The black eyes of Texas. (he he) So don't hate me Texas fans, we can all be friends over food can't we? There's no football involved here. It's a variation on one of those yummy Mexican casseroles. The addition of the black eyed peas makes it Southern AND Special.
