ingredients
- 6 pattypan squash, stem and blossom removed (or 3 larger squash)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
- 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
- 1 1⁄2 cups soft breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced

directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring one inch of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance.
- Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash. Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the centers of the squash. Reserve all of the bits of squash. (I used larger squash so discarded the seeds - warning the squash is very liquidy in the center so I drained it a bit after scooping.
- Mince the reserved squash.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl with the minced squash, mixing well.
- Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.

You got us to eat squash. I will make this again next time someone gives me squash. Mission accomplished! I used panko breadcrumbs... because thats what I had. I also loaded up the bacon and garlic. At the end I also sprayed some olive oil spray on top of the mixture and turned on the broiler to make the top a little crispy. yum yum. Thanks!

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
