Step 1

Cook the bacon in a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until crisp and remove the bacon and set aside.

Step 2

You can drain the fat from the bacon if you wish or leave it. I reserve at least a teaspoon of fat. Add the onions to the pan and saute for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add in the okra, diced tomatoes, and all of the seasonings. Stir.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the okra is soft.

Step 5

Open the pot and add the cooked bacon. Stir.
