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.

1 Package Frozen Turkey Meatballs

Instructions:

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.

Slow Cooked Spaghetti Squash 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!
