Succotash gets a facelift, Southern-style. It's made up of tomato, corn and okra - with a good dash of hot sauce for some extra flavor

  1. Linda REVIEW:

    This is almost a duplicate of the way my grandmother taught me. I use the fresh corn,fresh okra as well as fresh tomatoes. It tastes great and completely different than the dish made with canned or frozen corn and frozen okra. Give it a try.

  2. Valerie REVIEW:

    This isn't the succotash you grew up with. This has a great southern flair with a hefty kick from the hot sauce. We loved this dish!

  3. Southerner REVIEW:

    I much prefer this kind of succotash with the okra instead of the kind you usually see with lima beans. But being a southerner we definitely eat both.

  4. Phil REVIEW:

    This is close to what my Grandmother (an Atlanta, GA cook born in 1890) used to fix for the family. Might make a yummy one-dish dinner too with some browned ground beef added to it.
