Crock Pot Boiled Peanuts
Tender, salty nuts boiled in a large crock pot, popping right out of their shell into your mouth is an irresistible treat us southerners have grown to love. Yep, I am talking about boiled peanuts.
Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds raw peanuts in the shell
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1 cup sliced pickled jalapenos
- red pepper flakes optional
- seasonings of choice
Instructions
- Rinse the peanuts under cold water to remove any dirt.
- Layer the peanuts, salt, jalapenos, and seasoning. Repeat. Cover with water. Turn the crockpot to low—Cook for 18 hours. About halfway through the cooking process, add more water to keep the peanuts covered if needed.
Notes
I used a 4-quart slow cooker/crockpot. My peanuts filled the crockpot to the top. Feel free to decrease the amount of peanuts if so desired or even use a larger slow cooker. Make sure the peanuts are covered with water at all times.
