Succotash (from Narragansett sohquttahhash broken corn kernels) is a food dish consisting primarily of corn and lima beans or other shell beans. Other ingredients may be added including tomatoes and green or sweet red peppers. Because of the relatively inexpensive and more readily available ingredients the dish was popular during the Great Depression in the United States. It was sometimes cooked in a casserole form often with a light pie crust on top as in a traditional pot pie.
