Ingredients:

Serving

4 slice bacon, chopped
2 medium or 4 small zucchini or yellow summer squash
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs, or more
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 6 oz)

Directions:

Fry the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in a small bowl; set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim ends from the squash. If using crookneck squash, trim a bit more off stem end, leaving only the thicker, main body of the squash. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Blanch squash in the boiling water until partially cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
Drain well.
Heat the broiler. Scoop out the pulp from the squash, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges, creating a boat shape. Chop the pulp and mix with tomatoes and cheese.
Place squash hollowed side up on a broiler pan. Fill each with some of the cheese mixture.
Mix bread crumbs with the reserved 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Crumble the bacon and mix into the bread-crumb mixture. Sprinkle some of the mixture on top of each squash half. Place under broiler until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
