Growing up, I REALLY didn’t like okra cooked any way other than fried. I loved fried okra, but put it in a stew or gumbo and I was totally grossed out by the slimy texture of it. It’s taken me years to be able to eat cooked okra, but my boys just LOVE it! So this is a family favorite around here!
Spicy Okra Stew
2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 lb. frozen or fresh sliced okra
2 cans rotel style tomatoes
Brown the ground meat until cooked through, do not drain. Stir in okra and tomatoes and let cook for 10-15 minutes longer. We eat as is or serve over rice.
