This crockpot speckled butter beans and okra stew is a classic dish that’s super easy. You’ll take some frozen butter beans and okra and dump them into a crockpot on low heat with some seasonings, veggies and bacon. Takes less than 5 minutes to put together. Let it slow cook for 5 hours for the easiest down-home meal.

If you have a garden and have beans and okra put up in the freezer, then this is your meal! But really…this is just a good old country recipe made easy. I just dumped everything in the crockpot then served it over rice.

Equipment You’ll Need

Nothing to this recipe. You’ll need a large crockpot, a kitchen knife and a soup ladle.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Frozen Okra:

I used two bags of whole frozen okra. You can use chopped if you’d like, but I like the whole.

Frozen Butter Beans:

You’ll need about 5 cups of frozen butter beans.

Bacon:

Flavortown. Plus, it adds some protein to the dish.

Yellow Onion and Green Bell Pepper:

More flavortown. I use these two veggies in so many of my recipes.

Vegetable Broth:

This will help add more flavor than just water and will help steam and cook your okra and beans.

Butter:

Why not?

Seasonings:

I used Cajun seasonings and garlic powder.

Cooked White Rice for Serving:

We eat everything over rice around here…
