CREAMY SUCCOTASH (CROCKPOT)
I love any kind of bean or veggie so this is a hit in my books. This recipe is easy to throw together and tastes so good. Great served with beef, pork, chicken or fish. I like my succotash creamy so I add condensed cream of celery soup sometimes. These pics are from the web since I haven't made this in a while.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Vegetables: For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables that are in season. Frozen or canned vegetables can also be used, but they may not have as much flavor.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your succotash. Some good options include corn, lima beans, black-eyed peas, tomatoes, bell peppers, and okra.
- Add Some Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can help to boost the flavor of your succotash. Try adding some thyme, basil, oregano, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender but still have a little bit of a crunch.
- Serve Immediately: Succotash is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the vegetables.
