Maple Bacon Butternut Squash Hash

With fall comes all of the wonderful flavors such as maple and butternut squash! When you put the two together and add in a few other ingredients it really makes for a delightful breakfast recipe.

While this recipe is made using real organic maple syrup that is an ingredient that is on the maybe list of being Paleo approved. If you are following the Paleo diet and staying away from maple syrup, simply replace it with 1/4 cup organic raw honey. Or if you are looking for no sweetener at all for diets like Whole 30, just leave it out totally and do not replace. You will not get that maple flavor, but I have can assure you it is still very much enjoyable!

The other thing that you need to take note of if you are following a strict diet is the bacon. Most bacon is made with sugar and fillers. However, you can find uncured bacon that is also unsweetened that you can use. You can find it in some grocery stores as well as places online. Just be sure to read the labels.

How To Make Maple Bacon Butternut Squash Hash

The first thing you need to do is cut the squash into cubes and remove the outer skin.

Then dice up the onion with either a knife or a chopper if you have one.

Cut the bacon into small chunks. I did mine into pieces about a half inch in size. Then follow the directions on the recipe below.
