Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp (about 6-8 minutes). Remove bacon with tongs and set aside on paper towels to cool.
- Add the onion and garlic to the bacon fat; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent (about 3-5 minutes). Add the lima beans, corn, tomatoes, and water. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring regularly, until vegetables are tender (about 7-10 minutes). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon as you stir the vegetables. Remove from heat.
- Stir in butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. Crumble bacon over top and garnish with herbs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Vegetarian succotash: Skip the bacon and instead cook the onion and garlic in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or extra butter.
- If you like okra, you can also add ½ cup trimmed, chopped fresh okra to the succotash recipe along with the other vegetables.
- Additional veggies that you can add to the skillet include: red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and diced zucchini.
- Spice it up with jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or even just a dash of paprika.
- For a Louisiana-style Southern Succotash recipe, try adding ¼ teaspoon of Creole or Cajun seasoning to the dish. You might also like some diced andouille sausage instead of the bacon.
