- 3 to 4 slices chopped bacon
- 1 large onion sliced med. thin
- 2 med. tomatoes, chopped
- 6 medium-sized zucchini , sliced
- 2 yellow crookneck squash, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Brown bacon in a heavy skillet. Don’t completely cook it. Drain off some of the grease. Add rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer-fry for approximately 20 minutes. If bacon is very lean, add a little oil and/or water to keep it from scorching. Stir often. Cook until squash is desired crispness. I like mine slightly crunchy vs. soggy.
Comment: This is a great side dish any time of the year. People who even slightly like squash love it prepared like this.
Comment: I learned this recipe from my mother and have been making it since I was knee-high to an aphid!
I hope you’ll pick up a copy of my novel, Silki, the Girl of Many Scarves: SUMMER OF THE ANCIENT. It’s available at your nearest Barnes & Noble Bookseller (note: ask them to order it from their Master List…they know it’s on there! 
), on my website, B&N.com and Amazon. For your convenience, it’s also available for Kindle, the Nook and most other eBook readers.
If you like Sassy, Danger and Mystery… you’ll love my novel!
The second book in the series, CANYON OF DOOM, debuts in early 2013. Watch for it!

Oh la la, Jodi! This sounds DELICIOUS (and easy!). Definitely a dish I will be trying sometime soon. Thanks for sharing
I thought you would like this one, Barbara! Once you make it, you’ll always make it. Promise!
Sounds delish..and similar to something my mom made.
Reading Silky now. Started a while ago, but got interrupted. Had to reread a bit. I’m at an interesting spot now and wanna get back to it, but gotta work tomorrow, then Relay for Life at nite. So Saturday I hope to finish it.
I love sauteed veggies and even though I’m a vegetarian I can totally appreciate the bacon in this dish. (Bacon was, in fact, one of the last meats I gave up.) Though this may sound a bit weird, I’ve found a way to make tempeh taste like bacon – texture, taste and all – so that’s what I’ve been eating instead. My mouth still waters at the smell of bacon, though.
That sounds delicious! I am bookmarking this recipe to try!
Definitely on my list of “gotta tries” as soon as I get to the store. It sounds great, especially since summer squash are one of our favorites.
Mmm, sounds yummy.
