Directions
Okra and Tomatoes (A.k.a. Okra Gumbo),I havent seen too many Okra recipes on Zaar, so i decided to post my favorite. My Grandmother taught me how to make this dish when I was 11, and I’ve been making it ever since. Its a great along side smothered steak and mashed potatoes, or rice.,I cook this in a large skillet for best results. Make sure you cook the bacon low and slow and let all of the grease render out of it. After you take the bacon out to cool, add the onion, okra, and diced up green bell pepper, and a big tomato diced also to the hot bacon grease. Add some salt pepper and granulated garlic and a splash or Siracha if you want, along with the crumbled up bacon, and stir it while it gets near boiling. Then reduce to simmer, cover it and come back in 12 mins. It should all be tender and delicious. I cook this all the time in the summer (thanks for the recipe!) and it always comes out great.,This is one of my favorite recipes! Thanks for sharing!

Fry Bacon in a Large Skillet That Can Be Covered, Until Crisp. Remove from Skillet and Drain on Paper Towels. Saute Onion in Bacon Drippings Until Tender. Add Okra and Tomatoes, Stir to Blend. Cover, Reduce to Low Heat. Cook For About an Hour, or Until Okra Is Tender, Stirring Occasionally. Do not Stir Too Much or Too Briskly, Because the Okra Will Fall Apart. Season With Salt and Pepper, to Taste. |

**note: Nanny Diced the Bacon and Fried It and the Onion Together. My Family Doesn't Like the Bacon Cooked Into It Because the Bacon Becomes Soft. If You Do It My Way, You Can Sprinkle the Bacon on Right Before Serving. |
