We leave out the onions and make with veg oil, then add butter when almost done and some brown sugar. Just had some the other day.

This sounds good with potato and the squash. Bet that does taste good. I often do a stir fry in which I add carrots onions, chicken pieces, celery and then I add things that don’t take as long to cook like peppers, green and red, squash, zucchini, baby corn that is canned, bean sprouts near the last, sweet pea pods, and sometimes get a bag of veggies to have the mix. the squash makes it all taste so sweet and good. Could add a bit of cabbage earlier on as well.
I cook stir fry like my mother would have had she ever fixed stir fry, just by what I had and what looked good and what I thought of and by sight and feel.

How neat. I didn’t pay much attention when my mom cooked. The kitchen was small and she didn’t want us underfoot most of the time. She had a Chocolate Gravy Recipe we got by measuring everything before she put it in as she never used directions. She did it by feel and look. I don’t recall her making squash, but we do. I like to add zucchini slices in my squash, too, as both are really a squash, one yellow neck and the other zudcchini. We love the onions and add a bit more. We have eaten them soft like this but browned sounds interesting. might try that with a little next time, though I think I’d rather fry it in a bit of spray oil. I sometimes wrap it in parchment and put a piece of tilapia on top and cook the veggies with the tilapia and add a bit of lemon pepper.

Oh my Christy, I just had a childhood moment, when I saw your Jewel Tea dish. My Mamaw had the same set , and every time I see them I always think of her. The squash recipe reminds me of my other grandmother. Thanks for the sweet memory .

My dear mother-in-law taught me to make yellow squash with onions, but she added a couple of boiled eggs to the squash after it was cooked. That was truly wonderful. Her name was Venita Farr Morris. My granddaughter loves it this way.

Thank you so much for this recipe. My mother always cooked squash and onions in butter and lots of it. In an effort to eat healthy I have been searching for a better way to cook it. I can’t wait to try this.

Christy! Onion and squash together are so delicious, the onion gives the squash such a sweet flavor! Sometimes I sautee my onions with some tomatoes and jalapenos and then when the onions are soft and translucent I add the squash, some water and salt. Makes such flavorful squash! Even my husband who doesnt like squash eats it.

Christy, where was your bacon grease? Stewed squash needs bacon grease to put them over the top.

OK, here’s one better.
Brown some cubed potatoes in a small amount of oil, add the onions next and then the squash.
I usually add a little butter, salt and pepper and brown to taste. You will think you have died and gone to heaven.. A complete meal in itself
