Bacon Squash Browns 101 - A Story in Pictures - Page 5

SugarPop · 10-21-2008, 09:00 AM

Oh, thanks so much, Kevin......for your explanation and pics (I had no idea what a dumpling squash even looked like)....Are they even lower in carbs than the delicata? So, primarily you use them as a mashed potato substitute? Are they sweetlike, or similar to the delicata?

For the most part all winter squash are in the the same carb range except for a few that are a bit higher. delicata and sweet dumpling are the same if I remember correctly. if you search for the winter squash thread there is alot more info there.

Thanks so much, I'll look for it.

Can you use different types of squash for this? I would imagine so since most of them are pretty much the same texture?? Thanx....

bump - I would also like to know if other squash could be used.

Got my delicata squash yesterday and have promptly informed the family that we'll be having the Bacon Squash Browns Scramble for dinner sometime this week!

lcmiller461 · 11-09-2008, 04:50 PM

I can't find delicata anywhere!!!

jacksmixedtape · 11-09-2008, 05:32 PM

I keep buying delicata to make these. They. are. too. GOOD!

skg · 11-10-2008, 10:28 AM

My grocery store has a bunch of the delicata squash right now and on sale. I bought 6 and got a small one to make these to try, actually can't wait to try it have been looking at this recipe for a while now.

brittone2 · 11-10-2008, 05:08 PM

Made it this morning and it was good! Thanks for the idea.

sapphyretwins · 11-11-2008, 06:33 PM

Well I made them tonight and the dish looked beautiful! The taste on the other hand was just not for me. The squash was sweet and IMO doesn't belong in a savory dish. But that's just my personal taste preferences and nothing against the recipe!

skg · 11-12-2008, 03:54 AM

I made these last night for dinner, had a really nice steak & broccoli with it, great dinner.

I added some minced garlic, etc. and lots of salt/pepper and that helped, IMO

I have made the squash browns twice, so far. I prefer the delicata to the sweet dumpling. Don't forget a little bacon grease. Thanks, Kevin.

jenerosity · 11-16-2008, 08:55 AM

I second that! I made these this morning and while the kids turned up their noses I did get an "it's okay I guess" from one of them and my husband really liked them. As long as I can get a two out of four, it's something I'll make again. A new vegetable to add to our healthy lifestyle. Thanks!

I finally found delicata squash and made these for breakfast, super yum!!!

jacksmixedtape · 10-02-2009, 07:21 PM

Thanks for bumping this fall favorite of mine, Ang! Going to look for squash at the farmer's market tomorrow.

Kevin, you rock!

BikerAng · 10-04-2009, 01:02 PM

This is quickly becoming a favorite of mine too, Lauren! I made these again this morning!

Linny · 10-09-2009, 05:39 AM

How in the world did I miss this thread? Printing off now!!!

wcwendy · 10-09-2009, 08:29 AM

Has anybody tired this with shredded squash?

I have been elected to try this recipe for our CSA,

and I'm thinking of cooking half the way the recipe says, and shredding the other half. Thought that I'd first see if anyone had tried it.

I have been thinking about this quiestion wendy and since i never did try it I did thought I'd try something different for breakfast.

I had some spagetti squash left over from dinner last night so this morning i did spagetti squash browns. They were very very good.

Linny · 10-13-2009, 06:26 PM

KEEPER!!!!

*bumpity bump*

I've been using butternut squash for this. Yumyumyum! <3

Teresa123 · 10-15-2009, 02:39 PM

Ohhh, I never thought of butternut. Can't find delicata this year but used pie pumpkin for it and it was fantastic.
