In reply to Lmo. Great question! I went down the length of the bacon and cut it approximately in half.

“Slice the bacon down the short side.” ???

In reply to Skratazoid. I'm all about bacon so I'm sure I did one per half. You could use less if you'd rather. The Karo is my twist to squash. I just love how it gives the squash that sweet contrast to the butter and smokey bacon.

Thank you for this recipe! Growing up, my mom made this for me, but without the Karo, plus she covered it.

I was wondering if you do two slices bacon total, so there’s one for each half. The recipe says one slice, but from the pictures, it looks like there was one per half. Thanks 🙂

microwaving the squash before cutting it was a BRILLIANT idea! Made this today… but on our grill since its so warm… and it was amazing! The bacon was done perfectly and the squash so light and yummy!

My husband LOVES acorn squash. I always bake it with just the brown sugar. The addition of bacon is brilliant!! He LOVED it!
