RECIPE BY Southern Living

Dress up okra, a humble but beloved Southern favorite, with spicy Creole flavors for a mouthwatering side dish. This recipe calls for frozen and canned vegetables, so no chopping required.

Ingredients

  • 3 bacon slices
  • 1 (16-ounce) package frozen sliced okra
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen onion seasoning blend
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot cooked rice (optional)

How to Make It

Step 1

Cook bacon in a Dutch oven until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving drippings. Crumble bacon, and set aside.

Step 2

Cook okra and next 6 ingredients in hot drippings in Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Top with crumbled bacon. Serve over rice, if desired.

 It's basically a mixed bag of frozen onions and sweet peppers usually called "seasoning blend"

Wow....trip down memory lane! This really brings back memories. My mother used to fix this when we were kids. both my sister and I were picky eaters during childhood, but this was one dish I would clean from the plate. I forgot all about this dish until i came across fresh okra at the farmers market and remembered how much I enjoyed it. Thank you again for publishing it. Instead of rice we serve it over steamed cauliflower that has been pureed with Greek yogurt, green onions a little Parmesan cheese. Thanks Again

I made this yesterday as a side dish for a pot luck Fat Tuesday dinner party and everyone loved it. I used fresh onion, garlic and extra Creole seasoning so it was spicy. I was hesitant to use the frozen okra since it can become slimy but in this recipe that didn't happen. I would make it again for sure. Since I doubled the recipe, there are leftovers which I plan to serve over rice for an easy meal.

I used fresh tomatoes and okra after a visit to our Farmer's Market. I also used canned corn. I seasoned skinless boneless breasts with creole seasoning and placed cubed pieces on top to cook with the okra. Very good. Hearty for a fall evening. I served with bread and salad.

What is frozen onion seasoning blend?

January 21, 2016
I've never ever heard of "frozen onion seasoning blend."  Is it something I could make rather than looking for it in a store?  Does anyone know the components?  Thank you.
