Parmesan-Bacon Summer Squash

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 clove garlic, mined
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
dash of oregano
2 cups yellow squash, sliced
2 cups zucchini, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large skilled, cook the bacon until crisp.  Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate.  Leave about 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skilled.  Add garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano until combined. Immediately add the squash, zucchini and onion.  Cook, stirring frequently until veggies reach desired tenderness – I like mine soft, but still a little crisp.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
