Beef and Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

You cannot get a meal more simple than these Beef and Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats. Yes, it does take some time until the squash is cooked but that is pretty much it.

My husband and I devoured this one. Even though I did not use the largest spaghetti squash, we could not finish it so I say one of these serves four people. Especially if you serve it with salad or some type of bread.

We do not consume bread as before and still, this was a pretty satisfying lunch or dinner.

Beef and Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Beef and Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Spaghetti Squash 2 to 3 pounds
  • 1 generous Pinch Salt and Black Ground Pepper
  • 1 drizzle Olive Oil

STUFFING

  • 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 pound Ground Beef 80/20 or whatever you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder you can saute 1/4 of medium chopped onion instead.
  • 1 pinch Salt and ground black pepper each or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs, Blend
  • 1 1/2 cup Pasta Sauce any sauce that you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley for garnish
  • 1/4 pound Cheese, freshly sliced of shredded mozzarella, provolone, or mild cheddar cheese works

Instructions

  1. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop the seeds out using a spoon. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1/2 in. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes or until tender. I use a knife or a fork to punch through on the side of the bowl. If tender the squash is done. Remove all the water out of not evaporated, then turn the squash halves on the other side.Add a pinch of Salt and pepper in each just to season it, drizzle with a drizzle of olive oil and allow it to roast for an additional 10-15 minutes at 375F.
  2. Meanwhile, make a beef sauce by sauteeing ground beef. Remove excess grease if you wish before adding spices and seasoning. To the ground beef add onion powder, Italian herb blend, salt, and pepper to taste. When the meat is cooked and not bloody add about 1 1/2 cup Sauce. I used Beef flavored sauce.
  3. When the squash is cooked and cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the squash making squash spaghetti stand.
  4. On the top of spaghetti squash add an equal amount of beef sauce on top, using fork mix it a bit coating spaghetti squash with the sauce, then add cheese. You can also take the spaghetti squash out completely and layer it like lasagna (sauce, squash, cheese, etc.) using skin as a bowl, but I prefer it this way.
  5. Place it back in the oven and bake uncovered, at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.Enjoy!

Notes

You may use ground, minced or diced chicken bites for this recipe.

Simple Crepes

Simple Crepes

My simple Crepes are delicious, incredible and extremely easy to make. They are absolutely perfect for breakfast, snack and they do make an excellent dessert.

Simple Crepes

My family loves crepes, sweet or savoury, even though we are more sweet tooth peeps.

I try not to make them often simply because I cannot resist eating a few before they even end up on the table. I’m not joking.

We eat it with Nutella, jam, or maple syrup. Sometimes, I would mix crushed walnuts and sugar, or honey and use that as a spread.

Simple Crepes

It makes a wonderful snack, breakfast, or even dessert.

It takes me about 20 to 25 minutes from the beginning to the end, but it is totally so worth my time.

I do make a lot of them. They are so versatile. You can make them with any filling and add any desirable topping.

Roll them or fold… it is all about what you prefer.

To be honest, I have never measured the ingredients for crepes.

Recipe

The first time when I made them, I was 12 years old.

One beautiful morning my distant aunt or as I liked to call her grandmother because she was an elderly woman, came over for a visit.

As we walked and talked, I mentioned how I am craving crepes. She stood and said, “let’s go make it!”

She is the same women who taught me how to make my first real bread that actually came out pretty decent.

I really wish that I had more wise people like she was, around me.

Anyhow, if you were making crepes that long I assume that you wouldn’t use measurements either.

Simple Crepes

Simple Crepes

Simple Crepes make an amazing breakfast, brunch or dessert any time you crave something sweet.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup 218 g All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. 2.5 g Salt
  • 12 FL OZ / 270 ml Milk
  • 1 large egg mixed
  • Oil for greasing pan/or unsalted melted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine everything. First, add salt to the flour, mix. Add one mixed egg, and whisk while pouring milk gradually, as needed. The batter needs to be smooth, thinner without the lumps. You may use an electric mixer. Also, the batter is much thinner than a mixture for pancakes.
  2. Turn the burner on medium high heat, and grease non-stick pan with oil, or unsalted melted butter. The non-stick pan needs to be hot.
  3. Pour the batter with a ladle, for medium size pan about 1/2 cup or a little less.
  4. On each side you will need about 1 minute or until the bottom of the crepe is golden brown and the top is no longer wet.
  5. Continue until all the batter is used. Serve it hot with your favorite spread.

Notes

Leftover batter place in the container with the lid and in the fridge. It can be in the fridge for up to two days. Since it will be thicker when you get it out, add splash more water or milk, stir and make crepes again.
