Pull up a chair, grab some iced tea, and 'sit a bit' as we say down south. Hey YвЂ™all! Welcome to some good ole, down home southern cooking.

Toss in the smothered okra at the end.ДЄs an Amazon Associate, Deep South Dish earns from qualifying purchases. Very good as a side dish, or as a main course served over rice.Д¬ook's Note: Pan sear some sliced, smoked sausage or andouille and raw shrimp in a separate skillet until browned and cooked through. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed stir in bacon. Give it a stir, bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender. Add the garlic and sliced okra (if frozen you do not need to thaw) to the skillet and stir fry, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes.ДЄdd in the tomatoes and Rotel with all the juices, sugar, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning. Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, cooking about 5 minutes until soft. Cook until crisp, remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and cut the bacon into the skillet. I keep it pretty simple from there, tomatoes - fresh if you have 'em, canned and diced if not - a little bit of garlic and a few simple seasonings - a bit of salt and pepper, sugar and of course, my favorite Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, or to taste, optional With a very short shelf life, most of us who grow them, put at least some of them up that way anyway and I find frozen okra to be just as delicious, so use what you have access to.

Okra can be fresh or frozen, it really doesn't matter and frankly I almost always have frozen since they are convenient to have on hand. Me? I happen to be a lover.ДЄlso known as okra gumbo, I like to start mine with bacon so that I can use the drippings to saute the onions and okra - and when they are available, absolutely use sweet Vidalia onions. There's always at least one person who feels a need to express their dislike of okra, one of those veggies folks seem to either love or hate. Smothered Okra with Bacon and TomatoesДefinitely another southern favorite for us veggie lovers that's made in a variety of ways depending on the household - though I'll betcha a dollar that soon as I post this link over on the Facebook page I'll get a few proverbial 'yucks'. A southern favorite, okra is sliced and cooked in bacon drippings and Vidalia onion, garden or canned tomatoes and a can of Rotel tomatoes for a little extra kick.
