Paleo Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Paleo Spaghetti Squash Casserole Pinterest

One of my most popular recipes on the blog is the Paleo Cauliflower Chicken Casserole. Nearly every week, it’s one of my top 5 popular posts! There really aren’t a whole lot of Paleo casseroles out there. There aren’t many awesome Paleo recipes, but generally, a casserole needs a ‘binder’ to hold everything together.

You can find many cream or milk-based binders, which generally are NOT healthy because many of the cream-based ingredients are processed—no Bueno for the body.

I love to cook with spaghetti squash from time to time. Sometimes I’ll sub it for pasta and make big pesto spaghetti squash with shrimp bowls.

Honestly, though, it took me a little while to get up the nerve to make squash at all. I did not like it when I was younger… probably the only vegetable I didn’t like! For so long, I said I hated it. But like so many foods we don’t like, we eventually grow a taste for them!

Spaghetti squash is great on its own, but it makes the perfect binder for casseroles, like this new paleo spaghetti squash recipe I cooked up last week!

Description

Spaghetti squash is great on its own, but it makes the perfect binder for casseroles, like this new paleo spaghetti squash recipe I cooked up last week!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 pound 93/7 lean ground beef
  • 1 handfuls spinach, finely diced
  • 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon EVOO

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Place cut side down on a baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. While squash is baking, brown ground beef over medium high heat. Drain, and set aside.
  3. While your squash and beef are cooking, prepare vegetables. In a large sauce pan, begin to saute red onion, tomatoes, and garlic with EVOO. Add seasonings. Once onions begin to turn translucent, add spinach and cook down.
  4. Once squash is done, remove from oven and shred the meat of the squash with a fork. Add to pan with sauteed veggies. Add meat, and egg. Mix together thoroughly.
  5. Pour mixture inside a 9 x 9 baking dish, and cook at 400 for 15 minutes.

You could totally jazz up this casserole by adding some sodium-free taco seasoning or topping it with a little bit of cheese, like Feta. I know cheese isn’t Paleo, so it might defeat the entire purpose of making the casserole…but that’s how I roll. I am from Wisconsin, after all!
