Spaghetti Squash Hamburger Casserole
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 lbs of lean grass fed beef
* 1 large or 2 small/medium spaghetti squash
* 2 cups of fresh chopped tomatoes
* Seasonings- Course Ground Pepper, Onion Powder
* Shredded Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Vertically/ symmetrically cut the spaghetti squash so that you have two equal halves. Lay on a baking sheet with a little water in the sheet, and bake for 35 minutes or until exterior of squash is softened and inside of the squash easily scrapes out.
While the Squash bakes, brown your beef, chopping it into loose hamburger bites, drain any residual grease, and season to taste with spices. Pour into mixing bowl. Add chopped tomatoes to the mixing bowl with the beef.
3. Let the squash cool off to the side, enough that your hands will be able to work with it later.
4. Once the squash has cooled, take a fork to the inside and scrape away seeds and discard. Then, continue scraping squash with the fork and place into bowl with beef and tomatoes. Mix well.
5. Place mix into a 9x13 oiled casserole dish and sprinkle top with cheese. Bake at 375 F for about 35 minutes or until cheese is golden.
*Next time I would add in spinach and onion. To get my greens in there! ;)
*Just because it is healthy....remember to watch portions. You can have too much healthy food. Moderation. Don't stuff yoselves, y'all! ;P And easy on the cheesy....y'all know I don't cut anything out but I moderate it. This is a lifestyle, not a trendy diet. Enjoy your food and find ways like this to have your cravings, but healthy or healthier!
