Succotash

Molly53's Note:

A traditional dish for Forefathers' Day. Our great-grandmothers tell us that succotash as originally prepared by Squanto, the native American interpreter who taught the Puritan immigrants to make this hearty dish, contained chicken, corn, fresh pork, turnips, onion and potatoes, as well as beans and corn. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.

This was easy and oh, so good. I added 1/4 c. bell pepper and 1/2 can Rotel tomatoes with peppers (original). I will be making this over and over. Thanks for posting it.
