Ingredients

  • 2-3 yellow squash medium sized
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 1 Tbs bacon grease can sub bacon grease for an additional Tbs of butter
  • 1 yellow onion medium sized - peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp sugar

Instructions

  • In a large cast iron skillet, add butter and bacon grease and begin to melt over medium heat.

  • Allow onions to cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they begin to turn translucent.
  • Add squash and remaining seasonings. Reduce heat to medium-low heat.
  • Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • You'll want to make sure your squash is cooked evenly throughout, so sample a piece to make sure it's cooked to the consistency that you like.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't want your onions to be caramelized, add the onions a little before half way through the squash cooking, or until they are translucent but not brown.
