This is a wonderful dish and it all started out with "What is succotash?" So like always I started at this web site. This is now a family fovorite, I had to make copies of this recipe after dinner because everyone wanted it. My advice print out several copies and just be ready to hand them out.

A real winner - I loved the effect the cream, butter and bacon had on the succotash....I made enough to last a couple of days and just ate some for lunch with my chicken cutlets. Thanks.

I'm making it for Christmas dinner. It's not the traditional family recipe so I'm going out on a limb based on reviews..UPDATE~served it to about 15 people at family Christmas dinner amid rave reviews, although one family member after saying she "liked" it, followed by saying the "old" family standard was still her favorite. When I need Succotash again, this will be the one I make!
