Corn Succotash without Beans
This corn succotash recipe is a Cheesecake Factory copycat with an addition of bacon. There are no beans in this succotash but you could easily add them. If you want to make this completely vegetarian then just omit the bacon.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 strips of bacon chopped
- 1 red onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 small zucchini diced
- 1 small yellow squash diced
- 3 cups corn kernels frozen or fresh
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 to 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Set the bacon aside and drain all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
- Add the onion and jalapeno pepper and cook until the onion is transparent and soft.
- Add the bell pepper, zucchini, squash, and corn. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Toss in the tomatoes, cumin, salt, tabasco, pepper, and the cooked bacon. Cook just until heated through. Top with chopped cilantro
- Serve warm or cold.
Notes
If you use fresh corn on the cob, it will take about 4 ears of corn to get 3 cups of corn kernels.
