From now on you'll make squash this way
ingredients
1 large, or 2 medium yellow squash (about 2 cups chopped)
1 medium sweet onion
4 T butter
1 1/2 T brown sugar
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
directions
Cut the ends off squash, slice into half, then again in half lengthwise.
Cut into half circle slices.
Slice the onions into similar sized pieces.
Add butter to a large saucepan (I like the 12 inch cast iron) and heat over medium heat.
Add onions and cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes.
Add squash, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, until squash is very soft.
Uncover and continue to cook for 5 minutes to let the juices evaporate slightly. There will be some liquid in the pan but it should be thicker than water, almost like a glaze.
Season with more salt and pepper and, if needed, and serve immediately.
