While squash is cooking, prepare onion/bacon mixture. Caramelize onions in a pan on low to medium heat. When onions begin to caramelize, add bacon to pan. Stir with a spatula until bacon is cooked, but being careful not to overcook. Add squash to onion/bacon mixture, toss to mix, and cover to keep pan warm for 5-10 minutes while completing your main dinner, letting all the flavors meld together.
