Okra and Tomatoes

Fry several strips of bacon and in the grease sauté:

• 1 onion, medium chopped
• 1 bell pepper, medium, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped

Cook until soft but not brown.

Add:

• 2 cups okra, fresh
• 1 can (15 oz.) tomatoes, do not drain
• 1 tsp. chili powder (more if you like)

Mix and cook for an hour or more. Frozen okra may be used but cut the cooking time in half.
