Blackeyed Pea Gumbo

1 pound frozen black-eye peas
10 ounces frozen cut okra
15 ounce can tomato sauce
6 slices of lean bacon crumbled
1/4 onion, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 green pepper, chopped
tobasco
oregano
garlic powder
paprika

Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Dump in the black-eye peas and stir until
the water boils again. Cover and reduce the heat. After a half hour add the
okra, tomato sauce, bacon, onion, peppers and spices. (I don't typically
measure these -- just dump -- use your judgment.) Bring to a boil and reduce
the heat to simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes.

The result is a bit like gumbo -- doubtless because of the okra.
