Succotash Burgers

When I saw a recipe for Succotash Burgers in Taste of the South, I thought- That’s genius and why didn’t I think of that! One of my favorite southern, summertime sides in the form of a burger. Yum!

Although there are many variations, succotash is typically a sauté of fresh veggies with corn, lima beans, and tomatoes being the mainstays. This is my favorite succotash recipe.

I was pleased to find this burger greatly exceeded my expectations. It’s delicious and absolutely tastes just like succotash in burger form.

I altered the recipe just a little adding a little diced red bell pepper which is something I like in my succotash, plus I thought the burgers could use some specks of color. I also changed the mayonnaise, reduced the amount of hot sauce, eliminated the lemon juice (but not the zest), and added fresh basil. The basil was a lovely addition and really helped perk the flavor up- because we all know lima beans can use a little perking up  🙂

Note: Leave the bacon off for a wonderful vegetarian meal.
