How to make pork and yellow squash skillet:

We’ll be serving this delicious meal over mashed potatoes. You can serve it over rice, by itself, or even with some baked potatoes. Do whatever works for you!

To make the pork and yellow squash skillet we’ll be using a skillet or a crockpot to allow the squash and the pork to simmer! I like to use a skillet because this one pan meal is extra easy on the clean up when it’s finished.

Season pork with garlic salt and pepper. Cook thoroughly in small amount of oil. 

Add the onion; cook until it is tender and translucent. 

Add tomato sauce and water. Pour into the pan. The liquid should cover the ingredients. If it does not, add more water. 

Add squash and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.

How to store any leftovers:

You can store the leftovers of this pork and summer squash skillet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week I’d say. It’s better fresh, so I wouldn’t plan on freezing this one!

If you need to freeze it, just freeze the pork and then add the squash fresh to simmer until tender when you thaw it out! Squash doesn’t freeze exceptionally well and it will end up mushy if you do it any other way.
