Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Warm a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped bacon. Cook the bacon for 10 minutes, or until it’s crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the grease in the pan. Set the bacon aside.
Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the two cans of tomatoes with their liquid, then season with the garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cook for 5 minutes to start reducing.
Add the okra, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, top with cooked bacon and serve.
