Instructions
Makes 6 Servings
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the carrots, onion and beef and cook, breaking up the large pieces, until the meat is no longer pink — 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, black eyed peas, hominy, 1 cup water, chili peppers if desired, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the carrots are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Serve in individual bowls and top with shredded cheese.
