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!
