Sauce Mixture

  • Place the cream of mushroom soup in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add in the yogurt and Miracle Whip and thoroughly blend together.
  • Add in the Romano cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and lemon pepper. Stir until well incorporated. Set aside.

Spaghetti Squash

  • Place the squash into the microwave and cook on high for 4 min.
  • Remove and cut in half and remove the seeds.
    Place each half of the squash face down into a glass casserole. Microwave on high for an additional 4 -5 min.
  • Remove the squash from the microwave and separate the strands of squash with a fork. Transfer the spaghetti squash to a large mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle the Romano cheese, garlic powder and black pepper over the squash. Toss until these ingredients are evenly spread throughout the spaghetti squash. Set the squash aside.
  • Vegetables
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
  • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sautee until tender.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet along with the garlic powder and black pepper and saute until they are tender.
  • Add all of the sauteed vegetables to the bowl with the spaghetti squash. Toss until evenly distributed throughout the squash.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the squash and vegetables and toss to mix.
  • Add all of the sauce mixture to the squash mixture and toss until all of the spaghetti squash, vegetables and chicken are evenly and well coated with the sauce.
  • Transfer the squash mixture into a greased 9" x 13" baking pan. Spread it out evenly with a fork and level off the top.
  • Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the top. Cover with foil and place in the oven and cook for 30 min.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 min before serving.
  • Left overs refrigerate well. I would not freeze this casserole.

Notes

Thin spaghetti or other noodle type of pasta of your choice can be used in place of the spaghetti squash.
If pasta is used in this recipe, left overs can be frozen for later use.
In my opinion, the spaghetti squash will become water logged and mushy if frozen and thawed.
