SUPER EASY SOUTHERN OKRA SUCCOTASH



Super Easy Southern Okra Succotash image

This is one time that frozen vegetables work better than fresh. You can play with different spices if you like, it's very forgiving. A finely diced Jalapeno is good for a little bite. Butter works well to replace the bacon drippings, or you can live longer (if not better) and skip the fat all together! Add Sausage and serve over rice for a great main dish! Update! I've made this often substituting fresh okra, but I just made it for the first time with fresh corn right off the cob. I added the corn raw a little before the okra and just heated it through. It was fantastic! Crisp and sweet!

SUSAN'S SOUTHERN SUCCOTASH



Susan's Southern Succotash image

There are a lot of succotash recipes out there, but I didn't see any like my mother and daddy used to make. Sometimes I think my mother learned a lot of her cooking from my father and his sisters. He was older, 32, when they married, and she was a new high school graduate! Hadn't had time to learn to cook yet. But his mother and...

NO-BEAN SOUTHERN SUCCOTASH



No-Bean Southern Succotash image

I know a lot of cooks use lima beans in their succotash. I've never been fond of it made that way, so I've altered my grandmother's succotash recipe. Note: You don't have to simmer this, but I do for better flavor. If you only warm it you will get better coloring, but the flavor won't be as good. Also, feel free to add more seasonings.

SOUTHERN SUCCOTASH CAT'S STYLE



Southern Succotash Cat's Style image

I love succotash but don't really like lima beans! So I tweaked the classic old fashioned way and came up with my own version. My husband really liked it this way and I must say it was a huge success! You may also add smoked ham or country ham to this dish if you desire ( the picture has smoked ham in it - it was my second time making it and I added the smoked ham - wonderful addition!) Family tested and family approved.
