We had a lot of spaghetti squash in our garden last summer. Because it's a winter squash it keeps extremely well. We just store in a dark cool place and it keeps. I don't know much about how to prepare this type of squash as I'm not a big squash fan, but I'm also not very picky. I eat what we have in the house. After talking to some ladies at church I was given this recipe and we just love it. Nothing is left when we're finished with this dish.
First of all you want to cut your sqush in half lengthwise. Then cook it in the oven or microwave until the squash is soft and tender. (About an hour in the oven.)
Then just scoop the flesh out with a fork. It comes out so easily.
It looks just like spaghetti noodles. How cool is that?
Now for the casserole we're going to add just a few things: bacon, green chile, cheese, eggs, and cream. Pretty easy, right?
Scramble up your eggs and pour it over the top of the rest of the ingredients already waiting.
Next add some heavy cream. Yum!
Mix it all together and put it into a cute baking dish.
Place it in your fridge overnight. We want all the flavors to have time to marinate together.
The next day bake it in the oven for about 45 minutes.
Voila! It's perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Serve it up in a cute little Butterfly Gold bowl. ;)

I'm not a huge squash person either but that actually looks tasty. Let's face it, it has bacon it. It's got to be good.
I own that exact Pyrex casserole dish. :) That looks delicious. Lauren's right-where there is bacon, there is good food.
What Lauren said. And your dishes look even cuter in action. If that is even possible!
I LOVE squash! This recipe looks sooo good.
I'm kind of mad at you, though, because those of us that didn't have enough forethought to grow our own spaghetti squash now have to wait until late summer to try this.
I should have known...
We're doing some raised garden beds this year and I'll definitely plant some spaghetti squash!
P.S. Love your Pyrex.
Heather you can buy spaghetti squash at the grocery store. I see at Sunflower a lot for $1/lb. Not bad.
I enjoy your blog-not sure if I've ever commented (I found you from reading other Lutheran blogs). I had just picked up a spaghetti squash and saw your recipe the next day, however I made it with breakfast sausage- not bacon and it was quite delicious. Thanks for the inspiration!
Jan - I am stalking your blog for recipes and made this for dinner tonight. LOVE using spaghetti squash this way! Next time I might try adding tomatoes, or broccoli and mushrooms instead of chilies. Last night we had your Mom's Asian Flair Chicken, which was a hit with the kids, although one of my son's is allergic to soy so I am going to have to find a no soy soy sauce :). Thanks for sharing!
Kathy, you can use Bragg's Liquid Aminos. It's a good soy sauce substitute.
Made this to bring to a family dinner tonight. It was a big hit! Most had seconds and some even thirds! Thanks for the recipe!
