Before I even start on this Slowcooker Succotash recipe I have to tell you-succotash is h-a-r-d to photograph! There are certain meals or dishes I make to share on the blog that are almost impossible to capture in an attractive manner and this was definitely one of those!
Despite the photo challenges I love this recipe SO much! I grew up eating succotash-it's one of my favorite veggie side dishes. This version is made even better because it's made in the slow cooker-allowing the vegetables and flavors to combine perfectly and making prep much easier!
Can I Use Frozen Vegetables for Succotash?
You can most definitely use fresh or frozen vegetables for this Crock Pot Succotash. If you are using fresh I recommend plum or cherry tomatoes, about ten, peeled and diced. If fresh tomatoes aren't available a can of diced tomatoes will work just fine.

I use sweet white corn instead of yellow corn. It really makes the dish unique.

Hi Melissa, I can't wait to make this. I too love succotash. Many years ago when I was in college in CA I kept telling my roommates I was craving lima beans ( we had them often at home, but never at college). And I did crave them and made them every so often. But I think they thought I was a little crazy.
Thank you for your sweet tea recipe! I'm going to make it for my mom and she will be so happy that it has real sugar instead of sweet and low! 🙂

Lima beans definitely don't get the attention they deserve Kelly-I love them too!
