Notes

There are many different variations of succotash recipes. This succotash recipe is without tomatoes and without bacon.
Use frozen corn and frozen lima beans for this succotash recipe. Be sure to thaw first and drain well.
Onions are optional. If you leave them out, heat butter in large skillet and go right to the step of sautéing corn and lima beans.
If you want to add tomatoes, and 1/2 cup chopped, peeled and seeded tomatoes to the corn and lima beans. Also add a pinch of sugar to the recipe to cut the acid of the tomatoes.
It seems like a lot of black pepper, but this simple succotash recipe needs it.
