Yesterday I picked my first peppers.. six large mucho nacho hybrid pepper I got from Park seeds,, not hot but still an jalapeno,, anyway washed and sliced them in half, then stuffed them with sausage, cream cheese and wrapped in bacon,,
Took a table and a lawn chair out in the back yard, set up my grill and grilled them,, just as I finished it started to lighten, wind blowing 50mph, plus a hard rain,,
Nothing better than setting on the patio, eaten stuffed peppers, drinking a cold beer and watching your table and chair blow across the back yard.. life is good.
YUM! I need to make a road trip your way, Lou! I thought I had it good here, but you had a great evening! Stuffed peppers and cold beer....Nothing better!

That's sure a fact. Hard to believe my last experience with a GE appliance was 13 years ago; May 19, 2000, in fact, but we bought a new double wide mobile home in 1997 that came with a GE dishwasher. It was 3 years old when it started leaking. I pulled it out, took it out in my shop, and found it was the pump leaking. Now I've replaced pumps, and I've replaced motors, in some other brands, but I couldn't figure out how to separate the pump and motor in that GE, so I called and learned that you don't separate them. You can only buy them as a unit, and they wanted $160.34 (13 years ago.) I decided I'd just have to buy a new one of another brand, but before I could go to town and buy one, my wife had been talking to our daughters on the phone and they showed up with a new Maytag in their SUV.:laughing: So it didn't cost me anything except my time to install it.

WHAT! No one invited the Herbivore to the FOOD FIGHT? I feel unloved.
Would you feel better if I threw a piece of bacon on you, while making my squash casserole?
:laughing:The casserole has squash, bacon, egg, and cheese. I think it has the 4 basic food groups covered in one dish! Yummy too! :licking:

We used to have a neighbor friend who said her grandkids wouldn't eat squash any way except the casserole she made with it. And it really was a good casserole; wish I had her recipe now. Or maybe you'll give us your recipe.

You don't get invited to a food fight. You just jump in and start throwing stuff.
BTW: I don't think I've ever turned down squash casserole. I was just pullin' FG19's chain.

I was going to jump in here, but I thought I was being baited - and I was right.
I was going to ask you what spices you used but...bacon is not a spice!

Bird; I have several, but the one I am making this week follows. I have one that is squash and tomato recipe too. Will share it another time. This one, I've had people that tell me they don't like squash, fall in love with it. Also makes a complete meal, in a serving!
Squash and Bacon Casserole
4 strips of bacon
2 packages or 5 medium fresh yellow squash
1 medium onion, chopped
1 TBS butter
2 eggs beaten
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated mild cheddar cheese
Fry bacon until crisp. Save grease. Crumble bacon and set aside. Boil squash until tender; drain. Brown onion in bacon grease. Add butter, squash eggs, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are done. Place half of squash mixture in 2 Qt. casserole dish. Sprinkle with half of cheese and half of bacon. Add remaining squash and top with remaining cheese and bacon. Bake 350* until cheese melts. Serves 4-6.
That is as a side dish. If using as a complete meal, serves 2-3.

No, not a spice. Bacon is a necessity! In the words of Emeril, "Pork fat rules!"

txdon; No, I don't bait! I think that is your game. I am as straight forward as I know how to be. You should try the casserole. Bet you would love it! Can be made with frozen squash, as mentioned, but fresh is AWESOME!

Thankyou, this is one that only needs 1 slight variation but it looks good! My onions and tomatoes are ready to pick, just waiting on the squash.....may have to get frozen.
Kyle, I'll have to rule out a an illegal because my frog pad had a pointy claw hole in it.

Thanks for the recipes. I've printed them out to keep. My wife reminded me that our old neighbor used stove top stuffing and cheese in her squash casserole, but we don't remember the ratios or other ingredients.

Bird; I have one with the stuffing or bread crumbs called for, but since that is really processed food, it isn't one that I make. I'll see if I can pull it out and add it here at some time. One friend makes a casserole with Ritz crackers, and it sounds good, just haven't tried it, due to the Ritz. I'll pull it and post it too, later, with any luck at all. I have about 50 squash recipes! Gotta love it!

Western; In my book, chocolate is the 5th major food group, and important indeed. Was just looking at it from the nutrition standpoint, instead of necessity standpoint!

Whoo Hoo! We just harvested our first ear of corn in 15 years. I was going to wait one more day, then I realized that is exactly what I say every year right before the coon raid. We cooked it in a pan with a fresh picked sweet pepper - good. Whipper does get some credit also for her nightly coon chases keeping them at bay.
