Spaghetti Squash Casserole

DSC_0234
This is a new spin on hash brown casserole! The more veggies I can get into my kids, the better! I found the recipe HERE but I had to use a different cheese mix, because I didn't have cheddar on hand. Either way, it turned out great!

INGREDIENTS:
1 medium spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
½ cup sour cream
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds.  Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 10 -12 minutes.  In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the butter, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color.  Salt and pepper to taste.  

Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl.  Combine the squash, onions, sour cream and half the cheese together and mix well.  Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese.


Place into a 375ยบ for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
