9/15/2019 – This recipe was inspired by one at TheSouthernLadyCooks.com although it is quite different. We liked it but thought it would be good with tomatoes–particularly Rotel. So, when it was warmed up Mary added a can and it was even better. The Rotel is included in the recipe below.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. gound meat
- 2 links of Rouses’ fresh jalapeno pork sausage, remove casings
- 3 cups fresh okra from our garden, chopped into 1/2″ pieces

- 6 red potatoes; peeled enough to remove unsightly places then cubed into 1/2″ cubes
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- Kit’s Creole Seasoning
- 3/4 to 1 cup oil — bacon drippings are best
- 2 small cans of Rotel tomatoes
- Cayenne if needed
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
- Panko Bread Crumbs
Steps
- Brown meat and set aside.
- Mix together cornmeal and creole seasoning
