Slow Cooked Spaghetti Squash
Last weekend’s Slow Cooked dinner was Spaghetti Squash made with Turkey Meatballs and Pace’s Bourbon & Apple Restaurant Style Salsa. I took a chance with this recipe as I had only previously baked Spaghetti Squash but had never slow cooked it in a crock pot so I was a bit apprehensive. However, this Saturday night meal was an easy, breezy tasty treat for me and my men.
Ingredients:
1 medium Spaghetti Squash
1 Jar Pace Bourbon & Apple Restaurant Style Salsa
1 Package Frozen Turkey Meatballs
After rinsing off the outside of the Spaghetti Squash, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds then poke 6 holes around each side. I used a ice creams scoop to remove the seeds and a metal Kabob skewer to poke the holes.
Put both halves of squash into Crock Pot, halved sides facing down
Pour in Salsa and add meatballs
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours
Remove squash halves from Crock Pot and allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes then use a fork to scrape out some of the strands, top with Salsa add a few meatballs and ENJOY!
This Crock Pot meal was the perfect “comfort food” for a chilly Autumn evening and you can also serve it with a side salad or Garlic Texas Toast slices. This would also be a great meal for tomorrow so you can enjoy the Halloween festivities with the little ghouls and goblins!

Would never have thought to cook the squash this way!
Me either until I saw it online and then it took me over a week to actually try it and am so glad that I did. Happy Halloween.
Mama I love this! I have been thinking of trying Spaghetti Squash but thought it would be a hassle this looks soooooo easy xo!!! just pinned 🙂
Thank you sweetie – this was such an easy breezy recipe and I am sure you will love it. Happy Halloween – enjoy the weekend and be safe!
I’m going to need to try this. My girls started eating meatballs recently and I want to make a more creative dish. Thanks for this idea sis! #ProductReviewParty
You are welcome, I think the girls will like this.
I have a spaghetti squash in my fridge about to go bad because I’m scared to try it. That sauce is new, I should look for it!
I have never put a squash in the frig and have kept it out for two weeks without any problems. Let me know if you like the salsa when you try it.
This sounds so delicious.I’d love to try this recipe…
