SKILLET SUMMER SQUASH
The good old-fashioned country way. This is definitely NOT diet food. You don't drain the bacon fat off after you brown it. If you really have to, you can substitute butter, but it won't be the same. You can also use this recipe with a combination of yellow and pattypan squash.

Tips:

- Slice the squash thinly. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Cook the squash in a hot skillet. This will help it get a nice sear and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much squash to the skillet at once, it will not cook evenly.
- Stir the squash frequently. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add a flavorful sauce. The sauce in this recipe is made with tomatoes, garlic, and basil. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve the squash immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.
