So I originally found a recipe for Stuffed Spaghetti Squash in a recent issue of taste of home, but I decided to change it up based on the ingredients I had on hand. Actually my only substitution was going to be to use sausage instead of ground beef, but when I picked up my grocery order, there was a butternut squash instead of a spaghetti squash. And when I went to make it, I realized I didn't have hot sauce, so I figured I couldn't post this as an original recipe review. I'm still interested in trying it at some point though.
I really, really, really enjoyed this meal! It was hearty, filling, and healthy. I think this would be good with some roasted cauliflower in it too!

1 medium
spaghetti squash (I used a butternut squash, cubed)
1 cup water (I omitted)
3/4 pound lean
ground beef (I used bulk pork sausage)
1/2 cup chopped
red onion (I used a yellow onion)
2 tablespoons
yellow mustard
2 to 3
teaspoons Louisiana-style hot sauce (I used a few dashes of red pepper flakes)
4 small garlic
cloves, minced
1 can (15
ounces) no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups chopped
fresh kale
1/4 cup plain
Greek yogurt
I skipped this step and just roasted my butternut squash cubes with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, until it was soft and to my liking). Trim ends of
squash and halve lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash, cut side down, on the
trivet in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add water to cooker. Lock lid; make
sure vent is closed. Select steam setting; adjust pressure to high and set time
for 7 minutes. When squash is finished cooking, quickly release pressure
according to the manufacturer's directions. Set squash aside; remove water from
cooker.
In a large
skillet, crumble beef (I used pork sausage) and cook with onion over medium heat until no longer
pink, 4-6 minutes; drain. Add mustard, hot sauce and garlic; cook 1 minute
more. Stir in black beans and kale; cook just until wilted, 2-3 minutes.
Using a fork,
separate strands of spaghetti squash; combine with meat mixture. Dollop
servings with Greek yogurt.
