I fry 2-4 slices of bacon first, cooking the onions and squash in the leftover grease. When that is done I crumble the bacon and add it on top of the vegetables before serving. Adds great flavor and texture to the dish.

[@TheWolfePit]

Sounds good! Bacon makes everything mo betta! Thanks for watching!

[@pauletteliggett8117]

Thanks Ken, the way you described your squash dish is exactly how I remember my mom making her squash dish in her cast iron skillet. I haven't made it myself in several years for fear it wouldn't taste the same.

[@14thabz]

YES!!!!!

[@MavrikUSMC]

@@pauletteliggett8117 you have to take the time to try. It took me many attempts to get my mother's chicken and dumplings, tuna egg salad, and banana pudding correct, but it's worth it if not just for the tasty memories! Still working on the sweet potato pie though. Pretty sure she snuck something in that I'm missing xD

[@MavrikUSMC]

The video I've been looking for! None of that fancy 50 ingredient nonsense. Thanks a bunch!

[@ronnielawson259]

Brother you know you're old school and country when you used that plate as a cover. That's how my mom and big sister used to cover a skillet when we didn't have a skillet cover.

[@bootsygalrobinson7548]

That is how my mom always prepared her squash. I love it along side delicious baked chicken, Jiffy cornbread and ice tea! Mmmm! I am getting hungry!

[@aromatherabree3566]

Honestly LOVE squash because of this recipe. If you need a sign to try this recipe, THIS IS IT!

[@216goldgoddess5]

Ok thank you 👌🏽

[@judichristopher4604]

Bringing back great memories of my "Granny" making this. I bought some yellow squash today. Thank you for sharing this great video.

[@remixgod6869]

Made this an hour ago. Added sugar to mine & extra Butter & Garlic. It was so yummy!!! 👍

[@jtrt1]

The easiest and best recipe I've used without being mushy. Was good yesterday and I will do it again today. I like Ken's bacon idea too!

[@talawoods25]

Looks DEEELISH!! What really made it southern was when you used that bowl to cover the pan!!

[@Anonnie2010]

talawoods25 yes and when he said you can use bacon grease

[@sadielong3021]

@@Anonnie2010 I just made it with bacon grease and it is wonderful!

[@daledonaldson4122]

One needn’t be southern to cook with bacon grease or use a bowl/plate to cover a pan.

[@talawoods25]

@@daledonaldson4122 who said the cook needs to be southern??? The title said the DISH is Southern.

[@kathyrobertson4493]

We use what’s handy.😂

[@guitarman0551]

I use either butter or bacon grease, depending on my taste that day, and cook exactly as is done here; with one exception. After letting the squash and onions cook for 15 or 20 minutes covered, I remove the cover, turn the heat up to about medium high and cook off most of the liquid and let the squash brown. Then crumble up the bacon and mix with the browned squash and onions. Delicious!

[@georgeallen8721]

Matter of Fact, we Had Some Fine Summer Squash and Zucchini tonight. Summer squash from my first ever, Garden. Long Story Short i did it for family, in and out of Hospital's and Rehabilitation in a nursing home. I knew how Much She's had a Garden All her Life. That was her True Love, Her Garden. So i planted it all for her. Keep it weed free. Didn t kniw how much is involved in gardening. Despite my Own pain, getting more as i do work. Its worth every minute for her at 90 , 91yrs old Soon.

[@bigeman25]

Made on mom's birthday, she made the best scallions, onions and yellow and green squash you ever tasted.

[@cindakellogg1307]

Being here in New Mexico, we make this and I throw in fresh roasted green chili and roasted corn. You talk about tasty!! I think you would like it. :)

[@sxerosie]

Cinda Kellogg YUM!!

[@judichristopher4604]

I'm from New Mexico too... and YES we love our Green Chili I never thought of adding green chili and roasted corn. Great Idea..

[@georgiaking9731]

Thank you for this recipe I’m going to try this

[@boss123400]

I've been large dicing these, frying them in olive oil with Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion power over low-medium heat. Pour in spaghetti and simmer until sauce thickens 45-60 minutes. Serve over spaghetti and Parmesan cheese for a veggie spaghetti. So, so good!

[@georgiaking9731]

Thanks for this recipe I’m going to try this

[@Mzgoldenhoney]

Now that is country cooking he covered the skillet with a plate that's what I'm talkin about. Lol. 2:20

[@ladydignity]

Yessss! lol

[@judichristopher4604]

Right... It works every time.

[@Jaydit7]

I like to do half zucchini, half yellow squash.....for the color. This is a great Old Timey recipe that never gets "old"......Thumbs Up!!!

[@TheWolfePit]

I like it mixed with zucchini sometimes too Judith! But the way I really like zucchini is cooked with tomatoes and onions, then topped with a little Parmesan cheese! Thanks for watching!

[@sonchie68]

I like to mix with zuchinni also

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Love the recipe, simple and delicious. Great job Larry

[@TeresaSteeleLydon]

Served over cooked brown basmati rice is absolutely delicious!

[@sle2470]

My grandmother always made this for us. One of my faves!

[@Anonymoose]

Nice timing, Boy! I just brought home some extra nice yellow squash and zucchini today. This recipe is a simple classic from the past that had actually slipped out of my memory, so thankee for snapping it back in. It shall be part of dindin tomorrow, for sure!

[@TheWolfePit]

Thanks John! Do the zucchini in onions and tomatoes then top with Parmesan!!!

[@dr5161]

You use a plate to cover the pan. Just like my moma😘

[@antonybrown432]

My mama used to make squash and I was little boy I'm 57 years old and have not had those squash in about 35 years rest in peace mother

[@simplymynz8379]

Yes NO SUGAR. This is how I make my yellow squash delicious 😋. You can also add some onion and garlic powder. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jonahstrials]

An 80yr old lady stopped me in Walmart and told me about adding Goyo pork seasoning instead of salt to the onions and squash. It is unbelievable. You need to try it. You only add one packet to the frying pan.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Yea, any seasoning you like, can make any ethnicity. It's really a base for anything, white pepper works and looks better if have it. Go crazy with it, make a casserole fast lol.

[@tanishastokes9875]

You said a mouth full, when u said use a Vidalia onion. I'm from Vidalia Ga and our little town is famously known for our sweet onions. They also make the best onion rings and liver and onions meal.😊😊🥰

[@momma.mash.potatoes6335]

This is so good . No changes to how you cooked it . Just perfectly good. Thanks will definitely try some of your other stuff.

[@MayfairJones]

Omg thank you for using butter. It's the best way!

[@MrTonyharrell]

My granny got me hooked on this one so many years ago.

[@TheWolfePit]

Oh yeah I think most of our parents and grandparents cooked this for us when we were growing up! Thanks Tony!

[@YSDev]

I just made it , but had to use olive oil as i had No butter...but besides that followed your instructions and man oh man that is some good squash. .thanks WolfPit

[@Jonahstrials]

I knew there was another recipe. I had always used olive oil.

[@melmoultrie]

looks good! we grew up putting Roger Wood sausage and a sprinkle of sugar in the pot and served it over white rice.

[@LadyJessica41160]

Cook up some bacon, crumble, set aside them aside then make this in the drippings. Crumble bacon on top when squash is done!! YUM! So making this!

Butter, onion, squash and a dash of pepper….I got this!

[@simbatable]

Thanks. Worked as well at home as it did on the Video.

[@stantheman260]

Vidalia Onions are named for a town in South Georgia where the soil is perfect for their growth. It’s tempting to call them Vi-DAL- ia Onions, but the town’s name is actually Vi-DAY-ia, Georgia, hence, Vi-DAY- ia Onions.

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

Man this so past good but I would have add a chicken bouillon and cornstarch and let that bubble up Smitty's goodness!!!! Thanks for the post!

[@lakevalowe4268]

I stir fry onions, sweet peppers, garlic, salt and pepper in bacon grease. Ass my squash in ..sometime I add mushrooms but I bake it in the oven❤❤

[@5280streetdogs]

Love squash never added onions, will definitely give this a try.

[@TheWolfePit]

Gotta be vidalia onions Don for the sweetness! Thanks for watching!

[@gthangguthrie3213]

Looks delicious. Another alternative is using a bunch of green onions with bacon drippings and fresh cracked pepper. Not healthy but yummy 😁

[@zossvega9436]

Fantastic.

[@DesertDigger1]

I made this yesterday from yellow squash and zucchini's from my garden. I like to use my old cast iron pan with a dash of flour and some bacon bits.

[@TheWolfePit]

Bacon always makes everything better!!! Thanks for watching!

[@LadyJessica41160]

Lol, saw this after I commented. Yes, I think bacon would be great with this too!

[@feehloif3]

A southern classic indeed, my friend! :)

[@Juanelo1946]

Larry, I love this recipe! I was unable to find it on your website but maybe I'm too early for it to appear. It looks like a winner because it's easy enough for me! It looks healthy too! Yummy! I want a bowl of this soon! Thanks for sharing it!

Had yellow squash Sunday, right out of the garden...everything's better with butter. :-) Nice video.

[@TheWolfePit]

Thanks Brandon and you're right....butter makes everything better! LOL

[@boss123400]

I also cook them like you do, but add Worcestershire and dash of soy sauce. I also cook squash uncovered to concentrate the sugars and favors.

[@TheWolfePit]

The Worcestershire and soy sound interesting, I'll have to try them next time! Thanks Troy!

[@justifiedlife1595]

My Texas friend added fresh parsley, (the curly kind, go easy) and fresh lemon squeeze, in case anyone cares.

[@CindyAlexius]

Simple and Yummy!

Looking good

[@phyllisminga2229]

This looks so yummy. i make this. My kids don't eat squash so there's more for me. :)

[@menachd01]

i make a similar recipe, using both green and yellow squash along with spanish onions and little red onions for color. i saute the onions in a little spray oils, when they get translucent add the squash with some salt and pepper for taste or even throw in crushed garlic with the onions...

[@TheWolfePit]

That sounds good! I like cooking zucchini with onions and tomatoes, then topping with a little Parmesan! Thanks for watching!

[@ThePeAcHyK]

thanks!

Exactly how we do it in restaurant as a side, we mix breadcrumbs with lemon zest and thyme as a topping and spread in dish, add havarti cheese and top with the breadcrumbs, sell as a casserole for a special, side with a dish, casserole as a special $14.99 lol 🤷

[@mrsstrawberryluv1]

Now you tell me after putting them little water onion 😂😂😂😂😂😂next time I do it this way

[@390bear]

don't you just like how they call it butter now a days but its mostly water with a trace of butter . 20 years ago it was butter

[@shelbydavis5860]

390bear lol, the calories say differently

[@judichristopher4604]

The water was from the squash... Butter is made from CREAM... no added water. I used to make it on the ranch all the time.

[@pnkflygreenfield5911]

Any substitute on onions my bf is allergic

Nice :)

Butter can make anything taste good .. but I can't add fats for health reasons so just season it and bake.

Butter is made out of CREAM... very little (bad) fat. Just make sure you get good butter.
