Squash and Onions with Brown Sugar

Squash and Onions with Brown Sugar

2 medium yellow squash
1 medium yellow onion
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar

Slice the squash into 1/2 inch rounds, cutting larger rounds in half. You should end up with roughly 2 cups of cut squash. Cut the onions into similar-sized slices.

Add the butter to a wide saucepan that has a lid, and heat over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add squash, and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the brown sugar. Stir until the vegetables are coasted, then cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until squash is very soft.

Remove the cover and continue to cook for a bout 8 minutes, just to give the juices a chance to evaporate slightly. There will be some liquid in the pan, but it should be thicker than water, almost like a glaze. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed, and serve immediately.
