Hearty Squash Skillet Recipe

This skillet supper was a favorite of my family when we were watching our budget, since it calls for a lot of fresh vegetables we grew in our own backyard garden. The recipe feeds a crowd, but it can easily be cut in half, too.—Vicki Berry, Galveston, Indiana

I would label this as healthy comfort food. I altered the recipe to match the veggies I had on hand (butternut and acorn squash) so I omitted the fresh tomatoes, yellow squash, and zucchini but didn't alter anything else. I am looking forward to trying this in August with those veggies.
