Yellow Squash Bake
4 large yellow squash (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
3 strips turkey bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
1/2 pound onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces reduced-fat, sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
4 French rolls
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut thin lengthwise slice off side of each squash and hollow out center with spoon (a serrated grapefruit spoon is ideal).
If necessary, cut thin sliver off opposite side such that shells sit "upright" with hollowed opening on top.
Set shells aside and finely chop removed squash.
In non-stick skillet, cook bacon in half of oil over medium-high heat; remove bacon and chop.
In same pan, add remaining oil and saute onions and garlic until almost done.
Add chopped squash, tomato, and salt and pepper; saute until squash is tender.
Mix in chopped bacon and cheese.
Mound mixture in squash and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until browned and hot.
Serve with rolls on side.
Makes 4 servings.
