Time 4h20m

Yield 8 squash, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 summer squash, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onion
half a green pepper, chopped
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/4 cup hot water
4 slices bacon, fried, and crumbled
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Sprinkle squash with salt.
  • In a slow cooker, layer half of the squash, tomatoes, onions, and green pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  • Layer the other half of vegetables, and top with remaining brown sugar.
  • Dissolve bouillon cube in hot water, and pour this into slow cooker.
  • Top with bacon. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top.
  • Cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right summer squash. Look for small, tender squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is too large or has blemishes, as these may be tough or bitter.
  • Prepare the squash properly. Wash the squash thoroughly and trim off the ends. If the squash is large, you may need to cut it into smaller pieces.
  • Don't overcook the squash. Summer squash cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland.
  • Add flavor to the squash. Summer squash has a mild flavor, so it's important to add some flavor to it. You can do this by using herbs, spices, and other seasonings.
  • Serve the squash immediately. Summer squash is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Summer squash is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a great addition to salads, soups, stews, and casseroles. It can also be grilled, roasted, or sautéed. With its mild flavor and quick cooking time, summer squash is a great choice for busy weeknight meals.
