Seasoned Ground Beef and Spaghetti Squash

PRINTABLE VERSION

Get plenty of nutrients while getting your protein!

INGREDIENTS
1 lb 95% fat free ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
1 teaspoon salt-free steak seasoning
1 spaghetti squash
1 cup water
Tabasco sauce

DIRECTIONS
Cook/prepare the ground beef as you would normally. I suggest using the ‘George Foreman Grill’ for the quickest and healthiest way! 

While the ground beef is cooking, prepare the spaghetti squash.  I use the microwave.  Cut the squash in half (If you only need to prepare one half of the squash now, store the other half in the refrigerator w/plastic wrap over it).  Clean-out the seeds from the middle.  Place 1 cup water in each half.  Place the squash in a bowl to help it balance and keep the water inside.  Cook on HIGH for 3-6 minutes.  The timing depends on the size of the squash.  You will know it is done when the sides fall in when trying to lift it out of the bowl.  Use a fork to scrap the ‘spaghetti’ out!

When the ground beef is cooked thoroughly, sprinkle on the steak seasoning to your liking.  Place ground beef over top your ‘spaghetti’ and add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce or spray butter as you wish!


Spaghetti squash yields about 40 calories per cup, so enjoy! Read more about spaghetti squash!
