Mama’s Caramelized Squash

Also known as “squash ‘n’ onions,” this is one of my very favorite side dishes my mama made for supper during my childhood. She had a lot of sides she called “veggies ‘n’ onions” (see Mama’s Potatoes and Onions), cooked exactly like these, in a cast-iron skillet, usually with bacon grease. On the rare occasions we were out of that liquid gold, she’d use oil or butter, which are almost as delicious.
