Ingredients

  • 1 ham hock, about 1/2-pound
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning , recipe follows
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 (16-ounce) package frozen green butter beans or use fresh, if desired
  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus 4 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, or 1 small hot pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (16-ounce) package frozen shoe-peg corn (use fresh if you can get it)
  • 2 cups sliced okra
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chicken base
  • 4 fresh tomatoes, cut into chunks

Directions

Put ham hock in a stockpot and add the water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add House Seasoning and seasoned salt to water as hock simmers. Add more water as needed (up to 2 more cups as the meat cooks). Add the butter beans, 2 tablespoons butter, and hot sauce and return the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the beans are done. Remove butter beans and reserve liquid. In a skillet, saute bacon until crisp. Add corn, okra, and a small amount of liquid from the butter beans and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add parsley and chicken base; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh tomatoes and remaining 4 tablespoons butter at the last minute. Simmer until tomatoes are heated through.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

    It was amazing!! I can't believe I'm saying this, the 8-year-old boycotting vegetables in me is surprised that my favorite thing at dinner tonight was this awesome succotash!
    I suppose it doesn't hurt to give some credit to the ham hock and bacon flavoringl! WOW! I can see why people said even children and picky eaters enjoyed this dish.
    I will make this again and again. I, too, lessened some of the butter and salt... oh! and we added some green onions.

    Everyone loved this! It was also very colorful.

    I am just learning how to cook and my favorite recipes have been Paula's, they always seem to wow people. Thanks a lot!

    However, I did cut down on the the amount of butter and added more Tabasco. It turned out great! Thanks Paula!

    This is the best! I have made this several times, ususally for a big crowd. Even my picky neices and nephews loved it. If you need a replacement for the okra, I would suggest fresh green beans. If you don't have any ham hocks, a left over bone in hame makes it just as wonderfull. You can't beat all the goodies that are in this dish. I also like to add the cherry tomatoes at the end so they don't turn to mush. this dish is even better the next day.
