Yummy! I added 2 more Tbsp. butter and also added about 1/2 cup of evaporated milk (I would have added cream, but didn't have any on hand) and let that reduce until thick. (I like my succotash creamy.) Hubby and I loved this dish!! I'm already craving it again.

This was very good. I cooked frozen lima beans in water/sugar/salt for 15 minutes. The water nearly evaporated toward the end. So I added some 1/2 and 1/2 cream and 1.5 T butter. It was sweet. My 6-year-old had seconds!

This is the best succotash recipe I've ever made. I made no changes, and my whole family loved it. Green chilis are one of my favorite ingredients, and I never would have thought to add them to succotash. This will definately be a regular. Thanks for a great recipe!

We live in the midwest and have never had succotash before. What a delightful sidedish! This recipe makes many servings, so I froze some for another date. Very tasty...who knew lima beans could be good?

This was good. I was sort of standoffish at first, but the longer it cooked with the chilies, the better it was. I used splenda instead of sugar to cut out the extra calories. Even my anti-lima bean boyfriend liked it.

Succotash is a favorite of mine. I make it using the cream and butter combination as suggested. Just before serving, stir in a pinch (just a pinch)of fresh ground nutmeg. That's the way my granmother made it.

This was GREAT!!! So simple! So tasty! I am NOT a big lima bean fan, but my husband is, so I tried this recipe for him. He loved it and so did I. I will gladly eat my lima beans from now on if they are prepared like this. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

Not good. I think you really have to LOVE lima beans. And I guess I don't.

The missing "something" is 1 C cream instead of 1 C water, 3T butter instead of 1! I make it all the time, and it's just like MY Mother made 'cause I use her recipe.

This was quite good, it was missing something, but I'm not quite sure what. Other than that mysterious something it tasted like the succotash my mom used to make.
