Did not have celery, used fresh okra and tomatoes, add 1/4 cup of lemon juice and sprinkles a little cormeal to soak up the little bit of slim there was. Very Very good! Going to try with frozen okra and frozen tomatoes next!

I had the odd situation of having fresh okra in my backyard as a biology project but never having eaten it before. I was a little wary of the classic frying recipes, so I tried this one. At first I was worried that it would turn out bland as many of the reviews mentioned adding extra spices, of which I had none. But the end product was truly delicious with just salt and pepper - as said before, you really can't screw this up! My only suggestion is maybe to add celery first or cut it up extremely small, as my okra and bell peppers were thoroughly cooked when my celery still had a fair amount of rawness.

We enjoyed this. I left out the celery (personal preference). I also left out the bacon to make it healthier and just sauteed in olive oil. And I added some cajun seasoning. I think this would be good with shrimp or a smoked sausage.

Good -- will make again. I think that this recipe will make a good base that can be modified based on whatever veggies I happen to have in the house.

This was good. I did add some creole seasoning based on other reviews that it was a little bland. I also served this over rice.

I thought this was a really great okra dish. I did add about a tablespoon of butter, though (my bacon didn't produce a whole lot of grease). I also used a whole green pepper and NO celery. Yum!

I used fresh okra and whole tomatoes in sauce because that's all I had. I added some creole seasoning as someone suggested and didn't use bacon. It was great!! Can't wait to get more okra.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make this dish often in the summer when we have okra from the garden and I use frozen okra in the winter.

Absolutely yummy & a great way to use frozen okra. The best thing about recipes like this is how adaptable they are. For example, if one wanted more spice, Rotel tomatoes could be used instead of stewed tomatoes. I personally don't ever have stewed tomatoes on hand & cut up a can of whole tomatoes instead. The true secret to this recipe is sauteeing the okra and veggies in the bacon drippings - delicious!

I love this recipe! 14.5 oz of tomatoes didn't seem like very much once I had the veggies chopped; luckily I had another can so I added that. I also only used 1/2 the amount of okra and it was more than enough. I recommend Del Monte brand stewed tomatoes, Cajun Recipe. It adds a nice hint of spice :) As other reviews suggested, I served this with white rice for a bigger meal. I will be making this again!
