creamed succotash

You've heard of creamed corn...you've heard of succotash...but have you heard of creamed succotash?

My husband just loves succotash.  I think he likes the name more than the actual dish, but his love of it means that we eat it quite a bit.  I got a little bored with traditional canned succotash the other day, so I decided to make it with a twist. :)

Creamed Succotash

• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 T. butter
• 8 oz. frozen corn
• 8 oz. frozen lima beans
• 1 T. cornstarch
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4-1/2 t. each salt and pepper

Saute onions in butter about 2-3 minutes, or until tender.  Stir in corn and beans; cover and cook about 5 minutes until heated.  In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients.  Stir into corn and beans, and bring to a boil.  Cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes or until thickened.  Serves 6.
