Ingredients




4 slc bacon diced
2 onions diced
1/2 green pepper diced
1 stalk celery diced
28 ounces canned tomatoes undrained (28 to 30)
9 ounces frozen okra sliced
4 cups cooked rice or more
1 can shrimp drained (opt.)

Preparation

1 Brown bacon slightly. Add and cook over Low heat, all diced vegetables. 2 Add tomatoes and continue to simmer. Wash, stem and cook separately okra. 3 Drain. Add okra to other ingredients + some of okra cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cooked rice. Can add shrimp with okra to dish. 4 NOTES : Mom just called this okra and tomatoes. I usually buy presliced frozen okra. 5 This could be cut down considerably by only using 1-2 slices of bacon or substituting turkey bacon for pork bacon.Other than the bacon it is relatively fat free. We always ate it over lots of hot cooked rice.
