Place the bacon in a heavy ovenproof 5-quart pot over high heat and cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the onions, 1 cup of the bell peppers, 1 cup of the celery, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of the MAGIC SEASONING BLEND of your choice, the bay leaves, and half the black-eyed peas. Cover and cook, uncovering the pot once or twice to stir, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the chicken stock and the garlic and scrape up any crust that's formed on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add 1 cup more stock and scrape the bottom of the pot clean. Add the sausage, 6 cups more stock, the remaining 1 cup onions, 1 cup bell peppers, and ½ cup celery, the remaining black-eyed peas, and the remaining MAGIC SEASONING BLEND. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the peas are tender and creamy, about 1-1/4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Stir the rice and the remaining 2 cups of stock into the black-eyed peas, turn up the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and bake 15 minutes.
Serve alongside roast chicken and greens.
