Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash

I love this meal for its simplicity. It is so easy and always tastes delicious. This is a perfect weeknight meal (don't mind my extremely messy picture below)! This meal served Steve and I, as well as left us with tons of left overs!

1 large spaghetti squash
6 cups favorite spaghetti sauce
1 - 2 pounds ground turkey (or your favorite ground meat)

You are all thinking it.... booooobs

Directions: 
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half (hamburger style)
  • For the spaghetti sauce, I always make tons of extra meat sauce when I make spaghetti so I can freeze it and use it at times like this. If you don't have a pre-made sauce, put 3 -4 jars of your favorite store bought marinara sauce in the crock pot and then add 1 - 2 pounds (depending on how meaty you like it) to the crock pot. Break up the meat a little in the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Don't worry about cooking it first. You want the sauce to go up the spaghetti squash an inch or 2 in the crock pot. 
  • Then add your halved spaghetti squash, cut side down, to the crock pot. 
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 hours 
  • Shred the squash right into the spaghetti sauce and stir. 
  • Serve it up!
