Summer Squash Skillet Saute Recipe

You know the old adage that everything is better with bacon, well this is just another example of that fact.
I'm not even sure when this came into my culinary repertoire but every time I've served this to family and friends they rave about it.  It's simple yet hearty.

Ingredients:

2-3 slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces (vary as desired but don't use turkey bacon for this one)
3-5 Yellow Summer Squash, diced
1 onion, chopped
2-3 Tomatoes, chopped (and I prefer plum/Roma's and deseeded - but you can use any variety)
1 can of corn, drained (optional)

In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon (not quite to crunchy).
Add onions and saute until beginning to get soft (don't brown)
Add squash and saute until getting soft (can speed this up with a lid - to steam them a bit)
Add tomatoes and can of corn and cook until tomatoes are cooked/soft.
We often omit the corn to avoid the extra carbs/calories but it's a nice addition either way.
Serve immediately.
