This Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Spaghetti Squash has the flavors of a deliciously cheesy jalapeño popper, but in meal form. The creamy texture mixed with the spicy jalapeño peppers makes it the perfect main dish or side dish for the big game or for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese (I used a jalapeno cheddar)
  • 1/4 cup mozarella cheese
  • 2 jalapeno peppers (diced)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • 5 strips bacon (cooked and diced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. 2

    Cut the squash in half and scrape out the seeds. Place cut side down and bake on lined baking sheet for 30-40 minutes until you can easily puncture the skin of the squash with a fork.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, yogurt, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced jalapenos, most of the green onion (reserve some for topping), and most of the bacon pieces (reserve some for topping). Combine well.

  4. 4

    Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and shred the insides with a fork to form noodles. Add the jalapeno dip to both halves of the spaghetti squash.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle each side of the spaghetti squash with a bit more cheese, green onion and bacon pieces.

  6. 6

    Add the spaghetti squash back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted and everything is hot. Enjoy!
