  Yield: About 4 to 6 servings

   

  Ingredients
   

  • 3 slices of bacon
  • 1 pound of okra, fresh or frozen, sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups of chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped

  Instructions
  
  Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and cut the bacon into the skillet. Cook until crisp, remove the bacon and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced okra (if frozen you do not need to thaw) to the bacon drippings and stir fry, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the tomatoes, Rotel, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and reserved bacon. Give it a stir, cover and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  
  Serve immediately. Very good as a side dish, or as a main course served over rice.
