For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil to sauté the onion and okra.
Fresh okra and corn can be substituted for frozen; adjust cooking times accordingly. If using fresh corn, cut it off the cob.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to the dish. Add them along with the onion and okra.
File powder is a thickening agent and adds a unique flavor. If you can't find it, you can omit it or substitute with a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water, added during the last few minutes of cooking.
