You can't get more "Southern" than succotash. This recipe comes from my mother, who was a fantastic cook. This dish made her famous at least with everyone who ever tasted it.

When I was growing up, the succotash that mom served was just corn and lima beans, but it was no where near as tasty as this dish with all the extras in it. I like traditional foods, but have no objections to addinng them to them that make them even better!

 Hmmm.....I found this interesting.  In our midwestern family, succotash was just CORN & LIMA BEANS warmed together with butter and salt & pepper.  What about the rest of you.....what did YOUR'S contain ???

This dish was awesome. We ate it as a main dish served with the creamy mashed potatoes recipe here at TOH, and everyone loved it! I think the idea of serving cornbread with it is a great idea too.

Personally I can make a meal out of this succotash with a wedge of corn bread accompanying. It's delicious.
