Okra, Corn and Tomatoes

  4.5 – 97 reviews  • Tomatoes

Campbell’s mushroom soup makes it simple to put together this creamy, cheesy broccoli casserole. As a side dish or a vegetarian main entrée, serve it.

Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 slices bacon, chopped
  2. 1 medium onion, chopped
  3. 1 (10 ounce) package frozen cut okra
  4. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  5. 1 (20 ounce) package frozen corn
  6. 1 tablespoon file powder
  7. salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir to release some of the juices, then add the onion and okra. Fry until tender and browned, stirring constantly. Be careful, as this tends to brown quickly.
  2. Pour in the tomatoes, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Mix in the corn, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with file powder, salt and pepper, and serve.

Very, very good. I also did not have file on hand, but used Cajun seasoning. Also used fresh corn. I will make this all summer long!
Anthony Dorsey
Was a top notch dish. Left out the bacon to make it vegan. Was scrumptuous.
Charles Peterson
I’ve made this a dozen times. I used turkey bacon. And I still don’t know what file powder is. But it’s excellent every time!
James Campbell
I fry 4 slices of bacon until crispy, then remove from the pan. Fry the onion in the bacon fat until it starts to soften, then add okra(I use fresh). Then add the corn (fresh again). Finish with the file powder, 1 tbsp. Worcestershire, and Louisiana hot sauce to taste . Add the tomatoes and simmer. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and serve. A family favorite !

My mom always make this. It was one of my favorite meals. You dont have to use file. Thats what people use to make gumbo. Its usually in the seasoning section.
Melissa Fox
I made changes to the recipe. I used fresh okra and corn from the ear of boiled corn; and fresh tomatoes. I also didn’t use bacon grease , but I used olive oil.
Christine Santiago
Made this using cumin instead of file powder. Everyone loved it.
Heidi Stewart
So easy. I added some more spices to spice it up.

Leave out the bacon – really does not need pig grease to be good. I used all fresh veggies, real tomatoes (not canned), corn cut off the cob, and fresh okra. Add red pepper flakes and a can of tomato sauce. No added salt either- there’s plenty in the canned sauce. Now *that’s* a healthy recipe.

Also didn’t have file, used a combination of garlic, cumin, chile powder. Had all fresh veggies from the garden to use up and this was great!

I’ve been making this most of my life. I live in the Southwest now where okra is a rarity (except at buffets, and it’s always fried). We went to a You Pick Em farm and I was in okra heaven! No file powder, I put in a little beef bullion. Serve over rice! Yummy!
John Mendez
Very good. It has a nice mix of flavors. I will reduce the FIle to 1/2 tablespoon next time. There will certainly be a next time. I served it as a side dish with the Cuban-Style Pork and Sweet Potatoes recipe for a very delicious dinner.
Angela Padilla
I loved it and will make it again!
Madison Cross
I don’t even like okra but this was so good will make again
Christopher Wilson
I always follow a recipe exactly as written when I make it for the first time. That being said, this dish was absolutely delicious and everyone enjoyed the dish. The family was asking for more, but I did not make enough. This dish will definitely be in the family meals rotation in the future.
Jennifer Carter
This is a really great side dish. Easy and quick to fix. Definitely a keeper!
Jay Walker
My husband does not like okra, but loved this! I used fresh okra and canned corn because I had them in my pantry.
Mark Schultz
Made this more Cajun by adding celery and bell pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper! Very good!
Sophia Cook
This is such a great southern classic. I used all fresh vegetables, since everything is ready in the garden at the same time. So good! . Add some hot corn bread and put on your elastic waist pants!
Gary Garner
