Bacon Edamame Succotash

A classic succotash contains sweet corn as it's main showcase with a form of shell beans mixed in.  We're bringing it up a notch up by adding crispy bacon, edamame and roasted red peppers.  This satisfying side salad can also be served as a healthy main dish.

I actually found this recipe in my mailbox.  It was included with the Kroger coupon mailer I receive about once per month.  Normally, I tear out my preferred coupons and throw everything else away, but this and another recipe caught my eye.  I've made both of them and they have entered our regular rotation meal schedule because they satisfy two critical categories:  healthy, flavorful and easy!  Oops, that's THREE! 😉

I'll share the other recipe another day, but today I couldn't wait to get this succotash to you!  Frozen shelled edamame (may be called "Mukimame" in your store) and frozen corn makes this an easy side dish with a cooking time of less than 15 minutes.  You can't say "no" to that!
