Ingredients
  • 1 spaghetti squash (large)
  • 2 cups cheese of choice (grated)
  • 3 cups chicken (diced and cooked, or cooked lean ground meat)
  • 6 Tbs butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sour cream (or 1/3 less fat cream cheese, or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup bacon (in pieces, or chopped turkey bacon)
  • TH Mineral Salt
  • black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Cook the squash until tender, then scoop out the “spaghetti” using a fork. (You can cook the squash in a crockpot all day; or slice it in half and bake face down on a coconut oil–sprayed baking pan at 350°F for 45 minutes; or cook the two halves for 4 to 5 minutes in a pressure cooker.) Keep the oven set to 350°F.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, mix the squash with 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and the remaining ingredients. Mix well and place in a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
