Recipe feedback: “I had some homemade German sausage, and lots of garden vegetables, so this really hit the spot. Excellent recipe. I’ll be doing this again for sure” – Tonya
“I made this recipe for dinner and it was extremely easy and didn’t take long to prepare. I added shrimp to the recipe which my family loved.” – Lillian
“DELICIOUS dinner loved even by guests suspicious of okra! Just wanted to share that as a vegetarian, I had success using a package of Beyond Sausage hot Italian sausage flavor and achieved the smokiness simply by substituting smoked paprika for regular sweet paprika.

Great recipe…I added ground beef and left out the corn…made it more like a stew added beef broth. this was a winner
YAY!! I am so glad to hear this!
Great recipe! I used canned corn with red and green peppers, yellow onions and added the strips of bacon. Everything else was cooked as written. Very flavorful dish. This one is going into rotation. Thank you!
YAY! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Love this recipe! It’s so delicious and flavorful. I typically add a can of tomato sauce because I like it a little more liquidy. I am making it tomorrow and have fresh cilantro in the house so I am contemplating whether this would be good to add?
This is a WONDERFUL recipe! I have shared it with my friends and family-I know they will love it too!
A very good recipe! Loved it!

This recipe was a hit. My first time making okra and I loved it.. thanks so much for sharing.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Have a wonderful week Laura!
Do you think some greens; kale, collards, or chard, would work well in this dish? I tried it with squash a few weeks ago and want to make it again, but I’m in need of some greens!
Yes, I think you could add greens to it.
I am enjoying leftovers from last night on a bed of baby arugula right now. Yum!
You had me at smoked sausage, tomatoes an okra but the other ingredients just makes it sound even more delicious
Made this last night – one of the tastiest dishes I’ve tried in a long time! Made it with sausage I had on hand and canned okra and tomatoes (I know fresh would have been better), but I used what I had, and it still turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!
I made this recipe today for dinner,,, it went over great…. so easy, so tasty,,,, would make this again. Thanks
Thank you so much Debb! So happy you enjoyed this recipe and thank you for letting me know.
