How to Make Super Easy Southern Okra Succotash
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings (or butter) over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried), and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add 1 (10-ounce) package frozen cut okra and 1/2 cup frozen corn. (Alternatively, use 2 cups fresh okra, sliced, and 1 cup fresh corn kernels cut from the cob). Cover and cook over low heat until okra is tender, about 8-10 minutes. If using fresh corn, add it during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Add 1-2 tablespoons of finely diced jalapeño for extra heat.
- Serve hot. For a heartier meal, stir in 1 cup cooked sausage and serve over cooked rice.
