Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ green bell pepper, diced
1 small sweet onion, diced
2 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup half and half
1 cup corn kernels
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, bell pepper, onion, and zucchini, and cook until the zucchini begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Replace the cover on the skillet and allow to sit until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up all those summer squash! I used a mix of zucchini and yellow squash, and it was delicious. I also added a little bit of chopped onion and garlic. It was a great side dish for grilled chicken.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually use zucchini and yellow squash, but I've also used butternut squash and acorn squash. It's always delicious.

I made this last night and it was a hit! My husband and kids loved it. I used all zucchini and it was still very flavorful. I added a little bit of salt and pepper to taste. I will definitely be making this again.
