Ingredients

  •  One spaghetti squash (Shown above is the butternut squash)

  • Two tbl spoons olive oil

  • Sea Salt

  • Two cloves garlic (Be adventurous and try it with Black Garlic North America black garlic!)

  • 1/2 pound ground beef or chicken

  • One can of black beans

  • One can of corn

  • 1-1.5 cup of cheese (We enjoy sharp cheddar or mix a few types)

  • 3/4 cup of Classic Triple Crown BBQ Sauce

Optional:

  • 1/2 Onion - Diced

  • Black Pepper

  • Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees f

  2. Cut squash in 1/2 (vertically) and coat inside with oil and a modest amount of salt

  3. After preheating, place squash on a baking sheet and bake for ~40 minutes. The inside of the squash should be tender and easy to peal

  4. While the squash is cooking (about 1/2 through), begin filling mixture

  5. Cook the beef/chicken and after cooked through, add other ingredients to the skillet except for the cheese

  6. After the squash is cooked, add the mixture to the "bowl" of the squash. Top your dinner bowls with cheese and replace in the oven until the cheese is melted
