Bacon Squash Saute Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the root end of the squash, cut in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and connecting strands with a spoon. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and place squash on the baking sheet with cut sides down.
• Bake until the skin can be easily pierced with a fork, and the flesh is tender, about 45 minutes.
• While squash is baking, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
• Remove squash from the oven and let rest until cool enough to handle. Scrape out the flesh with a fork creating long strands, loosening and removing the strands from the shells.
• Heat a large pan on medium heat, and melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add squash strands, toss with garlic butter, and cook until heated through, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat, stir in Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Gently stir to coat the strands and let the cheese melt. Garnish with bacon, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Place 2 paper towels on a microwave-safe plate; add bacon and top with another paper towel. Cook in microwave on high until some grease is absorbed, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer bacon to a deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Lower heat to medium; stir garlic into bacon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is slightly translucent and still firm, about 5 minutes.
• Mix squash into onion-bacon mixture; cook and stir until squash is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add artichoke hearts; cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add capers and rosemary; cover skillet and cook, stirring often, until squash is softened but firm to the bite, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, squash and onion in oil for 4-6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the remaining ingredients; cook 1 minute longer.

Steps:

• 1. Clean and slice squash, dice up your onions and chop up bacon into bitesize squares.
• 2. Fry up bacon, first, using a large skillet, pot or on a cookie sheet in the oven. Save bacon grease to add into the pot.
• 3. Put saved bacon grease in heated pot (your not frying in deep bacon grease, just enough drippings from the bacon you cooked to use for sauteing and browning, even browning your squash some when you put them in to cook), add in onions and let them saute'. You want them good and brown.
• 4. Once the onions are done, add in the sliced squash, along with 2 tbsp of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil). Add 1 tsp of sugar, some salt and pepper to taste. Cook on Medium heat.
• 5. Let cook until they start to tenderize and turn a slight golden brown, then add in bacon and let cook until squash is completely tender, browned and done. Serve with Baked Pork Chops or any of your favorite meats. Enjoy!!!

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half and carefully remove the seeds.
• You might want to use a kitchen scissors to cut around the edge because you don't want to dig into the squash itself (which is easy to do).
• Turn upside down in a baking pan.
• Bake at 375-degrees until the inside is somewhat soft (about 45 minutes for this sized squash).
• Let cool until the squash can be handled and then carefully remove the inside of the squash.
• They will come out in threads that look and act much like cooked spaghetti (thus, the name).
• There will be a much larger volume of strands than you think!
• Cook several pieces of bacon very crisp and chop into bacon bits.
• In a skillet, heat some olive oil and/or butter.
• Add the spaghetti squash threads.
• Toss with spices as desired and the bacon bits.
• Heat through and serve.

Steps:

• Sauté bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Add onions and squash. Sauté until squash is almost tender, about 12 minutes. Add spinach and corn. Toss until spinach wilts and corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Cut bacon into approximately 1-inch size pieces and fry until crisp. Add chopped onion and sauté for a few minutes to lightly brown.
• Add sliced zucchini, minced garlic, salt, pepper and stir.
• Cover and lower heat. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally until squash gets soft.
• Add quartered tomatoes and simmer for 5-10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onions and cook in the bacon drippings until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add squash, salt, and black pepper; stir to coat.
• Cover skillet and cook squash mixture over low heat until tender, about 25 minutes.
