Southern Okra Bean Stew image

When this spicy stew's simmering on the stove, my family has a hard time waiting for dinner. It's much like a thick tomato-based soup with a hearty mix of okra, brown rice and beans. Everyone leaves the table feeling satisfied—and eager to have it again soon. —Beverly McDowell, Athens, Georgia

This Southern okra bean stew was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a slight tang from the tomatoes and a hint of smokiness from the bacon. The okra and beans cooked to perfection, and the overall texture was simply divine
