Spaghetti Squash Chicken Casserole
~ Trim Healthy Mama Friendly ~
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – you had me at bacon! It’s the hidden ingredient in this recipe and makes a recipe go from good to awesome. It’s the healthiest version I’ve seen of this type of recipe since it doesn’t have any heavy cream or gobs of sour cream in it. It’s still creamy and delicious and you should make it tonight!
