In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her delightful Lima Bean and Corn Succotash. This is a traditional combination of vegetables, along with some sliced green onion, and some seasonings. Its also a nice, colorful dish that is inviting, as well as nutritious. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter (My regular recipes uses 4 tablespoons butter, but I cut this down to save on fat and calories; you may actually leave it out entirely for a fat-free dish.) 12 oz. package frozen whole kernel corn, cooked according to package instructions and drained 12 oz. package frozen baby lima beans, cooked according to package instructions and drained ¼ cup finely sliced green onion ½ cup whipping cream, optional (I did not use the cream at all, because I was trying to keep the dish low in fat and calories.) seasoned salt, to taste ground black pepper, to taste In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in 12 oz. cooked corn, 12 oz. cooked lima beans, and ¼ cup sliced green onions. If desired, add ½ cup whipping cream. Place over low heat, until thoroughly heated. (If you have added whipping cream, simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened.) Season to taste with seasoning salt and ground black pepper. Transfer immediately to a nice serving bowl, and serve while hot. This is an appealing dish for those of you who are dieting and trying to eat healthier foods. Also, if you are looking for a “different” vegetable dish to perk up your meal, you are sure to enjoy this one! –Betty ?

Ooooh.. Betty! Now, you go on with your bad self! This recipe is great the first time, and the second. You can stir leftover ham or sausage into it as a final dish…. it is the bomb. Great! Great!

do you make pasties/pastys? I would love to see you make this.

If you are referring to English pasties, no, I don’t. I’m sure you can find someone on YouTube who does. Thanks for asking!

That is a *great* idea! For all of you who want the creamy version, here’s your solution! Thanks for a wonderful tip!

It is very common to use green beans in succotash. Other green vegetables will be fine, but you wouldn’t refer to it as succotash! Thanks for your question!

If you like creamy vegetables, you will like it; if not, stay with the butter only (and you can even leave that out!). Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your lovely comment! Carrots would be fine with the lima beans and corn; however, you would be getting into the area of “mixed vegetables,” not succotash.

that looks so good I think I will try that. it looks so easy to make and would go great with most dishes. BTW what is the tipical dish you would serve this with?
Comment by firefighter1811 — January 23, 2010 @ 6:16 pm
You’re right–It would go well with most dishes. You could have it with anything from steak to hamburger, fish, pork chops, chicken–you name it! Of all of these, I would probably choose chicken.
