TACO SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Taco Mac and Cheese is a big family favorite here at my house, but now that I’m following the Ketogenic way of eating I don’t eat pasta so when we made dinner the other night I made a little change. Instead of pasta for me, I cooked a spaghetti squash so that I could make Taco Spaghetti Squash.
Following the Taco Mac and Cheese directions we made dinner for everyone, plus I made the spaghetti squash. That meant we had TONS of leftovers.
My family ate the original Taco Mac and Cheese with pasta and I used the taco meat with no sauce and no pasta, added spaghetti squash, more salsa, sour cream, and cheese and bam! it was a fantastic keto-friendy meal.
If you aren’t making the entire taco mac and cheese recipe, feel free to just make the taco meat and the spaghetti squash and you’re ready for dinner and leftovers.
