Tips:

  • To save time, use frozen or canned corn and lima beans. You can also use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables that includes corn, lima beans, and black-eyed peas.
  • If you're using fresh corn, be sure to remove the kernels from the cob before cooking. You can use a knife or a corn stripper to do this.
  • If you don't have any bacon grease, you can substitute butter or olive oil.
  • Cook the corn and lima beans until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Add the black-eyed peas and tomatoes to the pot and cook until the black-eyed peas are heated through.
  • Season the corn medley with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Serve the corn medley hot with cornbread or rice.

Conclusion:

This Texas Two-Step Corn Medley is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh or frozen corn, lima beans, and black-eyed peas.
