Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 slices bacon
• 4 small crookneck (yellow) squash
• 1 cup water, or as needed to cover
• 0.25 cup chopped Vidalia® onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut bacon into 1/4-inch-thick strips (lardons); set aside. Slice squash and set aside.

Step 2

Cook and stir bacon lardons in a large saucepan over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add squash, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper to bacon and drippings in the pan. Add enough water to cover. Cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Much of the water will evaporate; add more if needed.
