This dish is excellent! Since I'm unfamiliar with pattypan squash and had trouble finding it at the grocery store, I stuck with yellow squash and it turned out great. I boiled 2 10" squashes in enough boiling water for them to float freely in and made sure to turn them so they would cook evenly. I shaved off a side lengthwise to hollow them out, and then followed the rest of the recipe loosely. With the combination of bacon, onion, breadcrumbs, and cheese, you can't go wrong! I did cut down on the breadcrumbs to have a more balanced stuffing. After about 12-14 minutes, a single squash was a hearty side dish to split for two, and was a nice change from the usual potatoes we have on the side. Great recipe!

Made this at Thanksgiving last year and the folks really enjoyed it. They're even better as leftovers. I love yellow squash and am always looking for alternative ways to cook it. Thanks for the great recipe.

There were great! I used a little less bacon than called for to cut down on fat and sodium. A great recipe with wonderful flavor.

What a great way to use up a whole bunch of pattypans. I used "fakin bakin" instead of real bacon and it turned out really well. I had to cook the squash a little longer than recommended to scoop the insides out properly.

I had not had pattypan before. This method of cooking was ok, even for my picky daughter! THanks!

I made this recipe for just me using one squash! It was a great lunch. The only changes I made was to use a little provolone cheese as well as parmesan, added fresh basil and oregano and used panko bread crumbs. Cooked it in my toaster oven and it was delicious!

This was incredible. Everyone in the family loved it. One thing though. Next time I don't think I'll saute the onion in the bacon drippings but olive or some other unsaturated oil instead. I don't think that would hurt the dish. My arteries are begging for mercy!

The recipe looks fantastic, but I'd like to know how big the squashes are & how much mixture this recipe makes: 1 cup, 2 cups, etc. Also, the squashes pictured are NOT considered pattypans in my area; the little tag that comes with the plant called mine pattypan squash, but are very large - up to 6" to 8" across, greenish-white and have scalloped edges & no green "turban" on top. So, I am not sure how much mixture to make. Thanks for your help! :)

VERY YUMMY!! And they are so cute! My husband made this and he cut back on the amount of breadcrumbs, but I think I would have wanted more in there. We also only had colby-jack cheese so we put that in there, though I wished there was more cheese - I LOVE cheese. I would have added more. This is like nothing I have tasted before. An excellent use of the patty pan squash! We will be making this every summer with our patty pan squash! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

These were delightful in every way! I'd never cooked pattypan squash and had actually bought them having no idea what I was doing and they turned out great! I did forget to add the parmesan but instead dusted a little on the top of each squash and they looked so pretty! I also added a clove of minced garlic; definitely will make again thanks!!!

My man made this for me, along with 'Mediterranean rice' recipe from the BBC Food website. The meal was absolutely delicious. It was even great as leftovers for lunch the next day!

Very good. I added some fresh oregano and extra cheese to the bread mixture. Also baked it longer than the instructions called for. Excellent low calorie meal with a side salad.

This was excellent. My husband is not a big squash fan and he loved this. It was perfect as a side dish or a main dish for a simple lunch. Very tasty. I did cut back a bit on the amount of breadcrumbs used.
