Summer Squash with Onions

Squash needs little or no water when cooked covered.

2 lbs yellow squash
1/2 stick butter or margarine, or 3 tbs bacon drippings
1 cup chopped onions
salt to taste

Wash the squash under cold running water while rubbing your hands over the squash to remove any grit. Cut the squash into 1/2 inch slices and place in a pan or bowl of cold water. Dip the squash pieces out of the water and put them in a pot with the butter, onion and salt. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring often. Turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes.

Serves 6 to 8.
