Spaghetti Squash Supreme

Spaghetti Squash Supreme


1 large spaghetti squash (about 3-1/2 lbs.)
4 bacon strips, diced
3 TSP butter or margarine
1 TBSP brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place one squash half cut side down on a microwave-safe plate. Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork, turning once. Repeat with the second squash half. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating strands with a fork; set aside.

In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving drippings. Add the butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper to the drippings. Stir in squash and bacon; heat through. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese just until blended. Serve immediately.
