I got MANY requests for the recipe, so I figured I would put it up here. I adapted it a bit. Mexican Casserole
(adapted from Undressed Skeleton. Original recipe here: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/post/65437034076 )
Ingredients
1- Extra Large Spaghetti Squash
4 TBSP Canned Green Chilies (this was half of my small can)
1 can Petite Diced Tomatoes, Zesty Jalapeños
1/2 can Black Beans, look for low sodium (rinsed and drained)
1 cup Mexican style shredded cheese
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 pound ground turkey
Steps
- Cut Spaghetti Squash in half the long way, scoop out all of the seeds and guts (you can save the seeds and roast them like you roast pumpkin seeds
2. Lay squash open side down on a shallow pan that has the bottom covered with water
3. Cook squash between 375 and 400 degrees. The time varies on the size of your squash. Check it after 20 minutes. You should be able to stick a fork into the skin EASILY .
4. While the squash is cooking, brown the ground turkey in a skillet
5. Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl ( without the spaghetti squash) only using 1/2 of the cheese
6. Put mixture into a greased baking pan and bake with spaghetti squash until bubbly or until squash is done- whichever comes first
7. When squash is done, take a fork and scrap the inside of the squash (it should look like spaghetti)
8. Put this spaghetti squash into the pan with the mixture and stir it around.
9. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and put back in the oven on broil until the cheese on top is melted
10. ENJOY! You can choose to eat it with a fork or with tortilla chips!
