Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium sized spaghetti squash
  • 3 cups Best Ever Chili recipe here
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ white onion chopped
  • Finely shredded cheddar cheese I use the reduced fat, but NOT fat free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Cover cookie sheet with a sheet of foil, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half, length wise. These things are very hard, and HARD to cut; make sure you have a  big, sharp, scary knife.  Place halves on cookie sheet flesh side down.
  • Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Mix cumin in to chili, reheat chili if leftover.
  • Remove the squash from oven and scoop out seeds with a large spoon. It will be VERY hot so be sure to protect your hands with a pot holder to get a good grip on the squash.
  • Use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into "noodles" and place into bowls.
  • Scoop out chili with a slotted spoon so you get the thickest parts of the chili and place on top of the squash.
  • Add chopped onion on top of the chili.
  • Pile on desired amount of cheese.
