Baked Squash

My mom made this side dish for years growing up and it's still one of my favorites!! 

There is something about combining yellow squash, onions and tomatoes!  Oh and butter, garlic salt and black pepper too!  This side dish is so easy to prepare and taste so delicious!!! 

The key to making this is to make sure the squash goes from that kinda squeaky texture to that nice soft texture.  It's kinda like meat sometimes you just have to cook it a little longer so that the meat breaks done and hits that tender stage!

Basically you just slice up yellow squash, onion (I often use white with this but you can use yellow too) and tomatoes.  Then you layer it starting with a layer of squash then a layer of onion then tomatoes then you dot with butter and add Lawry's garlic salt and black pepper then repeat!  I prefer to use a dish with a lid but you could cover it with foil.

What happens is the butter melts through the layers and then the juice of the tomatoes gives the squash the liquid it needs to not dry out!

This goes well with so much from grilled chicken to brisket!

Taking pictures was an after thought!!  I had some friends over for dinner and after I chopped up everything and layered it I remembered I hadn't put this on the blog yet!  So the pics aren't the best!

Cut up squash, onions and tomatoes then layer them adding garlic salt and black peppr and dot it with butter!

Almost done, I tossed the squash around with a spoon after about 30 minutes then baked it for another 15 minutes.

Not a a great picture but you have to try this!!
