Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add onion, butter, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook and stir until slightly softened, 3 - 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Stirring frequently, cook until browned and caramelized, 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add squash and cook until very tender, 10 - 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray. Drain squash, and transfer to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. To the large bowl, add garlic, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Add cheese wedges, breaking them into pieces, and mix well. Evenly transfer squash mixture to the baking pan, and top with caramelized onion. Chop or crumble cooked bacon, and sprinkle over the onion. Bake until entire dish is hot, about 15 minutes.
