Baked Cheesy Bacon Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 15-20 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly, then use a fork to separate the strands of squash.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon drippings in the pan.

3. 3

   In the same pan with the bacon drippings, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, salt, and pepper, and stir until blended. Add the spaghetti squash strands and toss to coat. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Swiss cheese.

4. 4

   Transfer the cheesy spaghetti squash mixture to a baking dish. Top with the reserved crispy bacon. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
