Ham & Cheese Spaghetti Squash Casserole

A dish that I always look forward to having during the holidays is a delicious and cheesy hash brown casserole. This dish is a family favorite during gatherings however, it is very fatty and high in calories. This Ham & Cheese Spaghetti Squash Casserole is my healthy take on this dish while keeping the delicious cheesy flavor!

First, cut a spaghetti squash lengthwise and clean the insides. Place both halves face up on a foil lined baking sheet and cook in the over for 45 minutes at 375^oF. 

One cooked, remove from the oven and use a fork to shred the insides.

Combine three cups of your cooked spaghetti squash with half a cup of diced cooked ham, half a cup of diced white onion, two minced garlic cloves, one cup of shredded light cheddar cheese, a third cup of light sour cream and sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Place mixture in a baking dish and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 350^oF. 

To crisp the top, broil in the oven for an additional 2 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!
