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 Jalapeño green onion with my okra, it is amazing together)
  • 2 cans Rotel tomatoes, or dice tomatoes
  • Salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper.
  • You can add about 3 tbs. 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. 
  • When sausage is completely browned, add onions, bell pepper, garlic to dripping and sausage for about 5 minutes. 
  • Add your frozen or fresh okra,  (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.
  • Heal me O LORD, and I shall be healed. Save me O LORDD, and I shall be saved. Jeremiah 17:14
