Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Recipe - If you like Jalapeno Popper Dip, you will love this delicious Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Recipe! Serve it directly in the spaghetti squash.

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.

  • medium spaghetti Squash
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

    Interesting dish. Made it for supper tonight. I loved it. My husband, who does not like spaghetti squash said after his second bite
    “This is really good.” A few bites later said ” this is delicious”. I did a few tweaks. I doubled the cheeses and sour cream, salted the squash and increased the peppers and cooked them before mixing them in. I will be making this dish again. Thanks for sharing. 😋

    Looks delicious! (Be sure to save the seeds for roasting at the same time. They’re like pumpkin seeds, only better 🙂

    Soooo good! We made it last night, quadrupled the recipe and used the left overs as a dip the next day. Just melt the left over popper dip (no squash) and serve with chips!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
