If you follow this blog you probably notice a I make a lot of low carb breakfast recipes. However I don’t have many casseroles and since I love me a good casserole, I thought I’d give one a try. I have a lot of spaghetti squash sitting on the counter from my hubby’s garden and thought this would be a good base so I made this spaghetti squash low carb breakfast casserole! The squash gives this casserole a touch of sweetness and is a great substitute for potatoes. The savory sausage, peppers and cheese complete this tasty low carb casserole!

Other low carb breakfast ideas

As I mentioned I have quite a few low carb breakfast ideas on this blog.

How I like to cook spaghetti squash

I mention this many times in my spaghetti squash recipes, but I like to make mine in the Instant Pot. Just cut in half, clean out the seeds, add a cup of water and pressure cook for 5 minutes. I like that you can cook more that 1 squash at a time.  I usually cook 2 and freeze the squash for later or use it for another recipe.

However you can also make it in the microwave. Just cut in half, clean out the seeds (and roast them because they are tasty) and the microwave for about 7 or 8 minutes until they are fork tender.

Spaghetti Squash Low Carb breakfast Casserole Recipe

You start by sautéing the sausage and peppers. Once they are done set aside and work on the spaghetti squash base. Mix the squash with eggs and cheese and press into an 8×8 inch baking dish. Spoon the sausage mixture evenly over the squash and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. Bake for about 20 minutes and that’s it!

    Excellent way to use up the spaghetti squash from this years garden haul. It’s the only thing that did really well. I did add onion, red pepper flack and course ground black pepper. But this was fabulous. Don’t skip the broiling step. It took it up a notch!
