I've made this recipe with both fresh and frozen okra and it's always delicious. Frozen okra is a great option if you don't have fresh okra on hand.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The okra was cooked perfectly and it wasn't slimy at all.

I added some chopped bacon to this recipe and it was amazing! The smokiness of the bacon really complemented the sweetness of the corn and tomatoes.
