Instructions
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy, turning as needed. Remove the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set it aside.
5-50 pieces bacon*
Keep about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet and pour the rest into your grease jar to save.
Place the chopped onion into the bacon grease and continue cooking over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent. Add the okra and tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until okra is tender. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper to taste.
3 medium to large diced tomatoes, 1 chopped onion, 2 handfuls diced okra**, salt and pepper to taste
Remove to a serving bowl and generously sprinkle the crumbled bacon bits over the top.
Notes
*I'm not really suggesting that you make this dish with 50 pieces of bacon. However, I would not object to you doing so, provided you invited me to supper. As far as the ingredients in this, you can use more or less of any one item based on what you have on hand. **We use turkey bacon and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet when frying the onions.
