1 2/3 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Finely chop bacon.
2. Sauté okra in hot drippings 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
