Skillet Summer Squash

  4.6 – 18 reviews  • Summer Squash

a traditional recipe that my mother has been preparing since 1954. The apples are covered with heated syrup, and then a flour mixture is sprinkled on top. You will truly like this distinct kind of apple cobbler. Alternatively, milk or ice cream may be added as a garnish.

Used real bacon bits instead of slices of bacon. Delicious!!
Mary Robinson
Excellent recipe. My husband gave it his highest compliment “It’s guest worthy”. I served it along with the Biryani-Style Cauliflower Rice recipe from this site and a cajan spiced pork roast. The spices were alive at the table last night!

quick side dish and very tasty

Unfortunately, I did not have bacon available, but we had some squash, red onion and tiny red potatoes given to us, plus we had on-hand fresh garlic and other seasonings. So I followed these directions minus the bacon and it turned out to be a lovely dish! I sauteed the minced red onion and chopped potato bits first, used good amounts of fiesta seasoning, italian seasoning, dried cilantro, salt. The entire family enjoyed it as the main course! (the pic shows tomatoes, but I did not use them in the dish)

All Recipes Look Delicious

My husband and I both really liked it. I’ve made it twice in the past week. It’s easy and relatively quick.

I simply followed the recipe, and everything flowed right into place. I cooked the squash a little longer maybe 15 mins more, yet a wonderful side Loved IT !

Wonderful dish. Found this when my dad mistakenly bought squash instead of cucumbers… my experience with squash as been boiled and I didn’t care for it but this recipe is wonderful. I did leave out the salt and pepper (bacon usually has plenty of salt for my taste and my brother isn’t big on pepper). So far I’ve made this twice… second time I added garlic with the onions and it mixed wonderfully sautéed.

Simple and delicious!

This is good. The key to making this really delicious is using very FRESH garden squash. Nothing fancy, but a good reliable side to lots of main dishes.

I usually don’t care for bacon in recipes, but this was good. I added some poblano peppers for color and spice. Also, I drained the bacon, peppers and onions and mixed them in with the sliced squash and put them in a covered baking dish in the oven to cook. Less fat and the flavors blended nicely.

Made this tonight to accompany chicken cordon bleu – it was great. The only difference was I added about 3/4 cup chopped yellow peppers to mine. The peppers sweetened it a bit, and I thought it was fabulous! Thank you for the recipe! I’ll definitely be making this again!

As this recipe’s first reviewer, I’m happy to say that while this may not be particularly unique, it is nonetheless particularly delicious. I often prepare any number of different vegetables with bacon and it has never let me down, especially when fresh minced garlic is added! Tonight I chose to use both green and yellow patty pan squash, but zucchini or yellow squash would be equally as good.

I love this take on squash. however I do something a bit different. preboil squash to tender a little and add sugar to give just a hint of sweetness. Love this recipe. I saw it as I am looking for other recipes for squash that are not caseroles and cracker based!! Suggestions? please!!
Lindsey Miranda
This was great. I added potatoes to it because I wanted to make it an entire meal. I will certainly have it again.
John Jones
Most recipes that call for summer squash use so little of it, there’s a ton of the veggie still unused. But I was able to plow through 1 and 1/2 large sunburst squash with this recipes. I also added some diced read potatoes from the garden and spiced it up with a little thyme, garlic powder, and cumin. All my kids were begging for seconds.
Rebecca White
This was good. The mistake I made was not to peel and seed the squash first.
Ronald Phillips
Great use of all the squash we have in the summer. Just the right amount of bacon. I did drain it after cooking – before serving because the squash gives off so much water.
