"Best meatlover ever"

[jende]

Before I started this, about a month ago, I had leftover spaghetti squash. The kids said they didn't like it so I had a lot of it. Sneakily, (hehe) I put about a 2 cups of it with raw hamburger, added spices, (garlic, onion, salt, a tsp splenda, a dash of worcestershire) and an egg and baked it all as a meatloaf. The kids LOVED it. My daughter, 23 said it was the best meatloaf she'd ever had. Also have foster children 10 and 12 who loved it. I only told them later what was in it. teehee. She wants me to make it again.
I just realized this would make a great induction meal.

Actually, I think finely chopped cooked cauliflower or finely chopped mushrooms would also work. Or a combination of whatever you have.

Omg, that's genius!!!!! I definately love and miss meatloaf. I think some of those twice baked 'potatoes' and green beans would go great with this!!!!

So y'ure sayoing I could use some other veggie in the meatload other than the spaghetti squash right?? I dont have nay on hand. LOL

Thanks so much!

I would think so. If I try it I'll let you know. Mushrooms for sure would be good, or a combination of mushrooms with this.

Okay great, thank you! I actually have some ground beef I wanted to use up, I am happy I have something new to try!

Thanks again for sharing!

Was this cooked first? Did you cut it up really small as to not be like shreds of squash in the meatloaf?
