Scalloped Okra and Corn Casserole

A few people asked in previous comments about the okra corn casserole I mentioned. I got the recipe from the good man over at the I-40 Kitchen and it comes from the 1958 Unity Vegetarian Cookbook. Check out his blog for a month long trip down ye olde vegetarian path.
I have no pictures of the casserole I made, but it was quite tasty. There is nothing finer than okra in the summer.

3 c sliced okra
4 T shortening
2 c corn
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper
2 T flour
1 c milk

1 c bread crumbs

-Fry okra in 2 T of the shortening for 10 minutes
-Mix a cream sauce with 2 T shortening, flour and milk

-Layer corn and okra in baking dish
-Cover with sauce and the bread crumbs
