Seaside Stuffed Summer Squash image

This is a great and delicious way to use summer squash. Makes a nice presentation, especially if you top it with a small amount of chopped green onions (green part only), or a little sprinkling of sweet paprika. It is also a prep-ahead dish, if you wish, which makes it so convenient. It is so good -- hope you like it as much as our family does.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb large summer squash (if you can't find large ones, then use more smaller ones so the filling won't spill out)
1/2 cup green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweet onion, finely minced
5 slices bacon, cooked and finely crumbled

Steps:

  • Cook squash in boiling water 10-12 minutes. Let cool a little and then slice lengthwise. Scoop out pulp.
  • Add remaining ingredients to pulp and mix well. Fill squash with mixture, and then place each squash half in a baking dish.
  • Bake 20 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven.
  • Note: May be prepared up to 3 hours ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
