SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS



Sautéed Yellow Squash With Onions image

We enjoy this dish all year long and it goes well with any entrée! It is one of the ways my mother liked to prepare yellow squash for our family. The yellow color helps make a pretty plate. I have found that a combination of butter and olive oil is great for sautéing (Paula Deen agrees). Purchase small fresh squash.

Provided by Coleman Bell

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Summer Squash

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ tablespoons butter, divided
3 summer squash, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
3 zucchini, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 onions, chopped
1 pound shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
½ pound shredded Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
  • Melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and cook the summer squash and zucchini until the squash pieces begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and spread into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the chopped onions.
  • Mix together the white Cheddar cheese and yellow Cheddar cheese in a bowl until thoroughly combined, and sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture over the onions. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the sweetened condensed milk. Repeat sprinkling cheese, onions, and condensed milk twice more, then top with remaining cheese mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For sautéing, choose a firm squash with a mild flavor, such as butternut squash, acorn squash, or zucchini.
  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Sauté the squash over medium heat: This will prevent it from burning.
  • Add a little oil or butter to the pan: This will help the squash brown and prevent it from sticking.
  • Season the squash with salt and pepper: You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the squash immediately: It is best when it is hot and fresh.
