yellow crook neck squash (trying some patty pan squash tonight)
white onions
butter/olive oil
pepper.

any variation of that you grew up with?

I usually put a garlic clove as well. Sometimes I use Paul prudhomme's vegetable magic instead of salt and garlic.

This. I dice a slice of bacon and cook it in the pan first. Leave the bacon in the pan and add the squash and onions.

Adding a little shredded cheese is good too.

I grew up eating it with ground deer meat. Brown the meat and onions then add squash and a little butter. Cover until the squash softens a little, then cook uncovered to brown a little

Growing up, it was always fried. Summer was nothing but good eating out of the garden at my house.

I add garlic at the very end because I like to get the cast iron really hot and really caramelize the squash and get a nice quick roast on the onion. Lots of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Finish with butter and a splash of stock to get a nice glaze fresh thyme or basil too

Cook squash and onions in water until tender. Pour off water and add a splash of milk and a couple pieces of velveeta cheese. Best you have ever eaten.

Ive been doing this with different kinds of veggies, basically steam at high heat with stock and let them caramelize after the stock evaporates. Garlic and a bit of fresh citrus juice at the end really brings a full flavor at least for my taste buds.

Has anybody ever had yellow squash and onions cooked in milk? About 25 years ago some lady brought yellow squash and onions cooked in milk to a pot-luck dinner and it was awesome. I don't know how exactly she cooked it and I've never seen anybody else do that. Anybody ever heard of this?

I like to add a little Creole tomato at the end.

I do it like all of the above, sans the cheese. Never thought about cheese.

I don't like them Overcooked. They will just disappear. I grew a lot of patty pans this year for the first time. Came out nice.
