Sausage and Okra Supper

Easy to make and the whole family loves it!

Ingredients:

The amounts are not vitally important. Use your judgment at to what your family will eat.

• 1 bag frozen cut okra (about 16 oz. size)
• 1 can stewed tomatoes (approximately 28 oz. size)
• 1/2 cup frozen vegetable mix (onions, celery, bellpeppers) or equivalent amount of freshly chopped vegetables.
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic (I use the chopped garlic in a jar)
• salt, pepper to taste
• Creole seasoning spices to taste
• 1 to 2 lbs. smoked sausage, sliced (I use "hot")
• 3 cups hot cooked rice.

Directions:

Put all ingredients except rice in in a large stewpot. Simmer on low for about 1 hour, stirring often to prevent sticking. There is no need to add any oil. You may need to add a little water if it cooks down too thickly. I cook mine until the sausage is done and the okra looks slightly wilted.

Serve over hot cooked rice. Add bread and a small salad to make a complete meal. Leave out the rice if you are diabetic or need a lower carb meal.
