I can't seem to find frozen succotash in the store. Why is that? We've had to buy the components separately and combine them. How bout you?

What a coinkydink! :p We just finished charcoal BBQing some St. Louis ribs, which we had with succotash. :) I can't find it either, I just bought 2 12 oz. bags of sweet corn and 1 12 oz. bag of baby lima beans...steam it in a small steamer pot. Sometimes I chop up some onion and add to it.
 
Thanks Sea!
In the World-According-to-Google, Giant Eagle carries Hanover Succotash Premium, frozen, 1 lb & Walmart carries Libby's Whole Kernel Succotash, 15.25 oz in a can..... course, finding them on the shelf is another story. We will look. We usually make it "the easy way", but I found a recipe using ham and ham broth...never heard of ham broth.

I have never seen the corn meal mush packaged and ready to heat up like you show it, KC; but I used to buy the 5 lb bags of corn meal at the grocery store, and cook some into mush. I also used it for making corn bread; which I happen to like much better than corn meal mush. (I don't much like regular oatmeal mush, either)
My grandmother always used corn meal to roll fish in before she fried them, so I also used the corn meal when we had been fishing and caught some nice trout for dinner, but I mixed the corn meal with flour when I did that. Just plain corn meal was always still gritty when cooked with the fish, but it did ad to the flavor.

we took mush with us on hunting and fishing trips. just cut and fry. but i got the habit and kept buying it for home.
 
back to succotash .... question? is it strange to put tomatoes in it? They sell a canned brand of triple succotash @ WalMart with corn, lima beans and tomatoes. (Margaret Holmes brand) Tried it once, was really good.
 
Not strange at all, I think you can find many variations of the 50% Succo and 50% tash recipe.

Along the line of 'learning something new every day'- before I saw this thread I didn't know it was available ready-made, frozen or otherwise. Looks good from the package!
What I encountered in childhood, called succotash, was something I never wished to see again: 2 cans of butter beans (the whitish-yellowish ones) mixed into 2 cans of creamed corn. Bleagh.
 
Probably someone outlawed it:)
My husband loved that mess. ..
Loma beans,YUKKKKK
