    Cut the pattypan squash however you like—it's optional here, not a main component, just a nice addition to the finished dish.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Add all the vegetables straight into the bag—so convenient, since your dishes stay clean.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Cut the pork. Today I felt like slicing it into strips, though I probably should have cut it into bigger pieces—it was a little awkward to toss.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 15

    Set the bag on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour; after 30 minutes, it's a good idea to flip the bag over and return it to the oven.

  • One note about the pattypan squash: to me it felt out of place in this dish, and I probably won't add it to dishes like this again. But it's worth trying once, right? ;)
