If you love Jalapeno Popper Dip, you are going to love this Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Recipe!

My family loves Jalapeno Poppers, so much so that I have discovered that I can get them to eat a great variety of foods if I just add a little Jalapeno Popper dip to them, even squash!

I added a small amount of jalapeno popper dip to roasted spaghetti squash, then topped it with a little more cheese, bacon, and onion, and baked it for a short time until the cheese melted. The results: Twice Baked Jalapeno Popper Spaghetti Squash that can be served inside the squash. this was a HUGE hit with my family!

Because the squash noodles hold up so well, this can also be cooked in advance and then reheated in the oven or microwave right before serving it.

Cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds. Brush the squash with olive oil. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Roast for 30 – 40 minutes until you can easily puncture the skin of the squash with a fork.

While the squash is roasting make the jalapeno popper dip. In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1/4 Monterey Jack cheese, diced jalapeno, most of the green onion slices (reserve some for topping, and most of the crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping). Stir well.

When the spaghetti squash is done baking, use a fork to loosen the spaghetti squash.

Divide the Jalapeno Popper dip between the two halves of the spaghetti squash. Mix the dip into the “noodles” with a fork.

Sprinkle the top of each spaghetti squash half with remaining cheese, green onion slices, diced jalapeno peppers, and bacon pieces.
