Ingredients
- 16 oz bag of frozen okra or 1 lb of fresh okra
- 1 onion
- 1 bell pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 pkg your favorite Beasley Smokehouse Sausage (I prefer Jalapeno Green Onion with my okra, it is amazing together)
- 2 cans Rotel tomatoes, or dice tomatoes
- Salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper to taste.
- You can add about 3 Tbsp white distilled vinegar, your okra will not be slimy.
Instructions
- In a pot with a thick bottom or cast iron, brown sausage in little pieces.Â
- When sausage is completely browned, add onions, bell pepper, and garlic to drippings and sausage for about 5 minutes.Â
- Add your frozen or fresh okra, Â (Please remember you can double this recipe, I do)
- Add tomatoes, add water to cans and swish to get remaining juice, pour into pot.
- Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper. (I count to 7 when sprinkling crushed red pepper, works for me.)
- Add vinegar, you will not taste it, tomatoes absorb it.
- Pray over it, ask GOD to bless it, and bring happiness to whomsoever eats it.
- Simmer on medium-low heat for about 2 hours, with the lid on. I also sometimes add shrimp, you can also add crawfish or chicken. I love to serve over rice, with some french bread. Better than gumbo to me, I could eat it everyday.
