Spaghetti Squash Bacon Hash
I made this dish last Wednesday night for a quick on the fly with some leftover spaghetti squash I had baked the night before. It came together really quick and was delicious. Because we were in a hurry to get to our Lifegroup shortly after work, a quick breakfast-for-dinner seemed appropriate and sounded yummy. I didn’t take many pictures but the recipe is listed for you below!
OH! After I made my Spaghetti Squash Hash Browns a few weeks ago, my sister in law Cheryl told me I was baking my squash wrong. I corrected my technique and believe I like it better this way and it’s not as wet which makes for better hash browns and crispier hash.
Cut your spaghetti squash in half long ways and place it cut side up on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and bake for 45 minutes. Gently scoop out seeds from the top. Take a fork or spoon and pull the squash out of the shell. A large spoon works great for me.
Enjoy the recipe below!
- 4 slices bacon, chopped in 1 inch pieces
- ½ large spaghetti squash, baked in shell and strands scooped out (about 4 cups)
- ½ large yellow onion, chopped
- ½ large poblano pepper, chopped

- Stir fry for 5 minutes or until beginning to soften, then add in squash.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well, then press squash lightly down evenly into pan.
- Sprinkle bacon over top evenly.
- Let squash set for 1-2 minutes to let bottom begin to crisp but not burn.
- Using a spoon, make a well (or indention) large enough to hold one egg, then make three more wells evenly spaced from the others.
