Skillet Recipe ~ Arkansas Fried Veggie Skillet

This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law; it is so good! You can add anything else you want and it only makes it better. I recommend everyone at least give it a try! You can even add some bacon pieces. Serve with fried deer meat. You can use olive oil or vegetable oil instead of the bacon grease, if desired.

• 1 egg
• 1 cup cornmeal, or as needed

• 3 pods fresh okra, sliced into rings, or more to taste
• ½ onion, diced
• ½ green bell pepper, diced
