List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• 1 Tbsp bacon drippings
  
• 1 medium-large onion, chopped
  
• 1 medium-large bell pepper, chopped
  
• 3 stalks celery, diced
  
• 2 Tbsp Creole seasoning
  
• 1 bunch green onions, minced
  
• 1 (16-oz.) can stewed tomatoes (with liquid)
  
• 2 lbs. fresh or frozen yellow corn
  
• 1 tsp sugar
  
• Pinch garlic powder
  
• Dash Worcestershire sauce
  






Instructions



1. In heavy pan, heat oil and bacon drippings until hot.
   
   
2. Saute onions, bell pepper and celery until soft. Add one-third of the Creole seasoning. Stir in green onions and saute until tender. Add another one-third of the Creole seasoning.
   
   
3. Pour in stewed tomatoes with their liquid, chopping or breaking up the tomatoes with your fingers. Simmer mixture for 5 to 10 minutes. Add corn, sugar, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and remaining seasoning. Simmer over a low flame to desired tenderness -- Sue prefers "smothered to death," but crisper vegetables are fine, too.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
