Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

1 large spaghetti squash, seeded, cooked, and shredded
1/4 c melted fat (I like to use bacon grease, but coconut oil would work fine, too)
4 to 6 eggs
1/4 c coconut flour
1/4 c coconut milk
1 T blackened seasoning, or spice mix of choice. Don't skimp.
Any additional vegetables you'd like

Preheat oven to 375F.

Whisk eggs, milk, flour, and spices in a bowl. Set aside.

Thoroughly mix melted fat into squash strands. If you want to add additional vegetables (shredded carrots, turnip chunks, spinach), do so now.

Fold egg mixture into squash, making sure the pasty egg-mix is well incorporated.

Pour into greased casserole pan. Use a 9x13 or smaller, depending on the volume of vegetables. This casserole will not puff up much, so feel free to fill the pan pretty full. If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle the top with paprika for color.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

This makes a great accompaniment to soups or saucy meat dishes. Just pour the food over the slice of casserole.

I've got to give the squash another try, this would do it.

I tried this casserole when I got tired of the smell and hassle of dealing with making squash croquettes (http://chernobylred.livejournal.com/667867.html). This doesn't taste the same, but it's a nice way to sneak an extra vegetable into dinner.

I'd be far more likely to make this, plus I can see doing up stuff on Sunday for later in the week.

This sounds delicious. And we have a spaghetti squash. Hmmm....
