Southern Style Yellow Summer Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

several yellow squash
1/2 stick margarine or butter
salt and pepper to taste
bread crumbs, finely crumbled (optional)

Preparation

In a large skillet, cut up squash (skin and all if young squash).
Add margarine, salt and pepper and enough water to cover squash.
Bring to a boil.
Turn heat down and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Keep mashing with a fork and add water as it cooks out. When squash is the consistency of mashed potatoes and the liquid is gone, cook slowly turning with spatula until the squash is a golden brown.
Makes a small bowl full.
Very good and worth the effort.
Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
