SPAGHETTI SQUASH SUPREME

Spaghetti Squash Supreme image

I was looking for a veggie-based side that was not based on potatoes, rice or noodles. This is a mild, tasty side dish that would pair well with chicken or fish. I got it from my Taste of Home 2006 cookbook.

1 large spaghetti squash (3-4 pounds)
1/4 lb bacon, diced (about 5 strips)
1/2 cup white onion, diced

Cut squash in half length-wise; discard seeds.
Place one squash half, cut-side-down, on a microwaveable plate.
Cover and microwave on high 8 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork, turning once.
Repeat with second squash half.
When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash , separating strands with a fork; set aside.
In a skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels and drain, reserving drippings.
Add butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper to drippings.
Stir in squash and bacon; heat through.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese until just blended.
