Crockpot Spaghetti Squash & Meatballs

This recipe makes me excited! SUPER DUPER EASY, and OH SO GOOD! This is so simple a kid can do it! A perfect option if you are trying to eat healthier! You have to give this Crockpot Spaghetti Squash & Meatballs a whirl.

Wash and cut your spaghetti squash in half and scoop the seeds out. Place the two halves of the squash face down in a LARGE crockpot. My crockpot is 6 qt. and I had to wiggle it a bit. If you are making a smaller batch you could just cook 1 of the halves.

Now, pour in your spaghetti sauce and some frozen meatballs! I make my own Homemade meatballs and freeze them, you can totally use store bought. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, or 5 hours on low.

Pull your squash out with tongs. Be Careful! IT’s HOT! I may have lost some fingerprints yesterday. 😉 Use a fork to scoop out the squash. Place the squash on your plate and spoon some sauce and meatballs from the crockpot overtop. Serve!

It’s just that easy!
