Okra Creole

I'm half french (My mom is from New Orleans), so you know I have to have a Creole recipe in here somewhere and of course okra is nothing but southern.

Ingredients:
3 bacon slices
1 (16 oz) package frozen sliced okra
1 (14.5 oz) can chopped tomatoes
1 cup frozen onion seasoning blend
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked rice (optional)

Instructions:
Cook bacon in a Dutch oven until crisp; remove bacon, drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings.
Crumble bacon and set aside.

Cook okra and next 6 ingredients in hot drippings in Dutch oven over med-high heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 min or until vegetables are tender.
Top with crumbled bacon.
Serve over rice, if desired.
