Roasted Summer Squash with BACON!

Roasted Summer Squash with BACON!
Every once in a while I have an idea that is just pure genius. Well, this is one of those times. A few weeks back I started thinking about how good it would be to drizzle hot bacon grease over a mixture of summer squash. Well after thinking on it a while and mulling over different herbs to pair it with, this is what I came up with, Roasted Summer Squash with Bacon!I cooked it earlier in the week and it was so delicious. Everyone that tried it loved it so far. I am hoping that you will too. Let us know in the comments below if you tried it and liked it.

Recipe:
You can start with any combination of summer squash that you may like. I did Zucchini, White Patty Pan, and Yellow Crookneck.
1 bell Pepper
1 small onion
1/2 cup of fresh chopped Basil
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped thyme
3 cloves of Garlic = You can mince it or use a press as I did
2 strips of bacon cooked and chopped up
1/2 cup of Bacon Grease = You can substitute Olive oil but the Bacon Grease is really the star of the show.
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Start by putting your bacon grease in a bowl. Next chop up the Basil and Thyme. Add to the bacon grease. Mine or use a garlic press and add the garlic to the bowl. Mix well and set to the side.
Next, chop up your squash in 1/2 in size pieces. Chop up bell pepper and onion. Add all veggies to a big bowl. Pour the Bacon herb mixture over veggies and toss in the bowl. Add Salt and Pepper, Toss in the bowl. Pour out onto a big sheet pan. Heat oven to 425 and cook for 20 minutes until veggies are tender and have some color. Next, put veggies in a bowl and put chopped bacon over top.

Johnny Apple Peeler by Victorio http://amzn.to/2xt4mYz We have used this tool extensively in our kitchen. From peeling apples for the kids or potatoes to making curly fries. When the twins were born, we used this to peel 5 bushes of pears to make homemade baby food.

Swissmar Borner Mandoline V Slicer http://amzn.to/2EfId1H This is a product that I use quite a bit. It will slice up potatoes, Onions, carrots, bell pepper, etc in a quick minute.

The Great Scrape Ultimate BBQ Tool http://amzn.to/2xteJeO If you love grilling

Ninja 4 in 1 cook system http://amzn.to/2xt1RFu We love this unit. I have a video where I cook chicken noodle soup in the one that I have. I love the feature where you set a cook time and it finishes and turns on to warm. You can also brown meat in this or bake in it.
Cajun Injector Batter Pro http://amzn.to/2xX16pN I have had one of these for a while now. I actually got it for a present for Christmas one year. I love this thing. If you deep fry chicken, fish, or vegetables that need to be breaded, this thing is the ticket.

Kitchenaid Blender http://amzn.to/2xt4LtX I debated for a while between this unit and the more expensive Vitamix blenders. Although I have never used a Vitamix, this one has been very solid for me. I use it to blend soups a good bit. Especially when I make potato soup. Never had an issue with it.

Ninja Blender http://amzn.to/2xt1Q4l This was another item that I did a lot of research on. I was trying to decide between the Magic Bullet and this. I ended up going with this and to this day, I am still very satisfied with my purchase. It blends really great. Does what I need it to do. Great for smoothies where you don’t have to drag the blender out and can drink out of the same cup.
