This is a recipe my husband loves to make. His love for the grilling season is temporarily put on hold when the ice builds up or the wind blows out the flame. Easy preparation and cook time: takes about an hour fifteen start to finish…and it is worthy!! Some ingredients are from my favorite place – Trader Joe’s, don’t you just love TraderJoe’s ??
Ingredients…
1 spaghetti squash
1 lb lean ground beef or chicken
1 jar 16 oz. ( No salt ) Marinara Sauce
1 can no salt diced tomatoes
1 red bell pepper diced
1 yellow onion diced
Parmesan cheese 🧀
Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds, bake open side up at 375° until easily shreddable, 35 – 40 minutes. Brown the meat, mix in chopped onions and brown. Mix in marinara and red pepper, add pepper, garlic salt and oregano to taste (1/2 tsp each). When squash is done, remove from the shell and either fill the bottom of a glass baking dish or return to the shell, top with meat mix, top with 1/3 cup Parmesan and bake 15 – 20 minutes more. Freezes well for your school lunch or dinner another day.
Enjoy!!
Note: spaghetti squash should be easily pulled out of the shell, not too crisp, for the best results. Of course, adjust the cook time if you already have preference on your squash tenderness. 😉
