Summer squash, stuffed with bell pepper, onion, tomatoes and pepper jack cheese, and topped with a sprinkle of panko bread crumbs.
Cheesy Stuffed Summer Squash
This is another great recipe to use those prolific summer squash, garden fresh tomatoes and even some of those bell peppers too. I just had to show the image below, which shows the pre-breaded squash because the stuffing is just so fresh looking.
The flavor is wonderful and I especially like it with the Pepper Jack cheese, since it provides a nice, spicy kick that I think is a perfect accent to this dish. Of course if you prefer to go a bit milder, any cheese will do such as regular shredded Monterey jack cheese, Cheddar or whatever is your favorite cheese.
I used panko as my crumb topping, but regular bread crumbs or even crumbled saltines will also work. I really like the contrast of the crunch from the panko bread crumbs with the tender vegetables though, and they are finally readily available at most stores now. You could also make this completely vegetarian if you'd like, or you could add in cooked crumbled sausage or ground beef to make it a more substantial main dish meal.
