Succotash is a simple and colorful side dish made with corn and lima beans that is savory, subtly sweet, and full of delicious flavor.

Ingredients

1 yellow onion ($0.70)

4 Tbsp butter, divided ($0.50)

1 12oz. bag frozen lima beans ($1.83)

1 12oz. bag frozen sweet corn ($1.82)

1 cup chicken broth* ($0.13)

1/2 tsp dried thyme ($0.05)

1/4 tsp black pepper ($0.04)

1 tsp salt, divided ($0.03)

1 large tomato ($1.43)

1 Tbsp chopped parsley ($0.10)

Instructions

1 Dice the yellow onion and add it to a skillet with 2 Tbsp butter. Sauté the onion in the butter over medium heat until the onion has softened.

2 Add the lima beans, corn, broth, thyme, pepper, and ½ tsp salt to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow the broth to come up to a simmer. Let the corn and beans simmer in the broth, without a lid, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

3 While the corn and lima beans are simmering, dice the tomato. Add the diced tomato to the skillet and simmer for an additional five minutes.

4 Give the mixture a taste and add more salt to your liking (I added an extra ½ tsp salt). Add the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and stir until they are melted in.

5 Top the succotash with chopped fresh parsley and another pinch of black pepper. Enjoy hot!
