This was REALLY good. I made 3 changes, though. I only had 1/2 lb. of Velveeta so I used a combo of 1/2 fiesta blend shredded cheese and 1/2 Velveeta. I added garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to the cheese mixture. I also didn't have the Ranch mix so I used real ranch dressing in place of the mix and the milk. These additions turned out perfectly and added so much flavor to the potatoes. My sister couldn't believe I made them from scratch.

I've made this a few times with success each time. I use 1 can of cream of mushroom instead of the milk. I also use Velveeta instead of the jarred cheese. And 1 cup of rice. I also put several dashes of garlic powder in.

I made this recipe as written except I used creole seasoning instead of file powder because that's what I had on hand. It turned out stupendous! I really loved the flavor. It was my 1st time using okra. I was a little apprehensive because of the slime factor involved, but it wasn't a problem. I also didn't have bacon or onions so I used canola oil and onion powder. Very simple recipe.
