Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow squashes thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons bacon grease or olive oil for vegetarian
  • 3 cups water
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Add sliced yellow squash, chopped onion, bacon grease (or olive oil) and water to a medium sized pot. Season with salt and pepper and heat over medium high heat and cover with a lid.
  • Allow the squash to cook down until water is almost evaporated and squash is completely soft. Feel free to add more water if the squash is still a bit stiff.
  • Remove the lid and continue to cook until completely soft and water is completely evaporated.
  • Taste and season more if needed and serve.

Notes

Store the cooked yellow squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until it's heated through, or use the microwave for a quick option.
