This is a fabulous recipe that my whole family loved and I can't wait to make it again. Absolutely delicious, easy to make and low in fat. The cooking times for each step are perfect. I wondered about the amount of balsamic vinegar and how it would go with the chili powder, but it really works so don't skimp on the vinegar. The big change I made was to substitute canned black beans, rinsed and drained, for the lima beans as no one here eats lima beans. I thought I had a red pepper but did not so I used jarred roasted red pepper. Perhaps not a true succotash my way but we loved it. This is good enough to serve to guests, at least those with adventurous tastes. Thanks, Susie! -
Very tasty and I will certainly make it again! -
This dish was very tasty! Next time I will probably add squash, and maybe some zucchini!

Very good. But it is better with smoked sausage which makes it hard to keep lit. -
Really tasty! I wasn't sure how chili and balsamic would go together, so I skimped on the chili powder, but it was good. I used a high-quality supermarket balsamic for the succotash, and dressed the whole plate with a drizzle of aceto balsamico tradizionale.
