Description

Yellow crookneck squash is stewed until tender, picking up delicious flavor from sweet Vidalia onions and salty bacon lardons.

Ingredients

2 slices bacon
4 small crookneck (yellow) squash
1/4 cup chopped Vidalia® onion
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup water, or as needed to cover

Directions

1 Cut bacon into 1/4-inch-thick strips (lardons); set aside. Slice squash and set aside.
2 Cook and stir bacon lardons in a large saucepan over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add squash, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper to bacon and drippings in the pan. Add enough water to cover. Cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Much of the water will evaporate; add more if needed.
