Perfect in every way! Love the sweet onion, and the whole package was just delightful! I added some fresh basil (chopped) and some beautiful curly parsley (it jumped in all on it's own!) and this made a beautiful, wonderfully balanced squash dish!

Very good! I'm from the south, so I'm used to eating yellow squash in every form imaginable! This had a little more sugar than I am used to, but it is delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Very good and easy to make! A delicious way to fix squash, one of my favorite vegetables. I will use this recipe often! Thanks for sharing. Made for Gimme 5 tag.

This was very tasty and easy. I loved the way the onions took on the sweetness of the squash. I used butter, black pepper and brown sugar. Excellent!

This was a nice simple way to make yellow squash. I used butter and cajun seasoned salt and a Splenda packet. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.
