Description

Imagine a comforting casserole, rich with savory flavors and wholesome ingredients, that warms you from the inside out. This dish brings together the earthy taste of mushrooms, the subtle sweetness of spaghetti squash, and a hearty dose of protein, creating a satisfying and balanced meal that's perfect for a cozy night in or a family gathering. The magic begins with the mushrooms, which are sautéed until they develop a beautiful golden-brown color and release their deep, umami essence.

Their meaty texture provides a delightful contrast to the tender strands of spaghetti squash, which have been roasted to perfection, their delicate, slightly sweet flavor adding a touch of brightness to the overall dish. Ground beef, browned and seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices, lends a robust and savory foundation, its rich flavor permeating every bite. To bind these wonderful elements together, eggs and flour are incorporated, acting as a natural thickening agent.

This ensures that the casserole maintains a pleasant consistency, preventing it from becoming watery and creating a creamy, cohesive texture that enhances the overall experience. The addition of creamy coconut milk infuses the dish with a subtle richness and a hint of exotic sweetness, complementing the other flavors beautifully and adding a layer of depth. Baked until golden brown and bubbly, this casserole presents a tempting aroma that will fill your kitchen and entice your senses.

Each spoonful offers a delightful combination of textures and tastes – the tender squash, the meaty mushrooms, the savory beef, all harmonizing in a symphony of flavors. The top layer, slightly browned and crispy, adds a satisfying crunch, while the interior remains moist and tender. Whether you're looking for a comforting weeknight dinner or a dish to impress your guests, this casserole is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Its versatility allows for easy customization; feel free to experiment with different vegetables, proteins, or spices to create your own unique variation. Enjoy this hearty and delicious casserole as a satisfying and nourishing meal that celebrates the simple pleasures of good food.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut a spaghetti squash vertically in half and place the halves cut side down on a parchment-covered sheet pan.
    2.
    Bake the squash for about 45 minutes, or until it's soft to the touch but not mushy. Let cool for 15 minutes, then scoop out the seeds.
    3.
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Mince garlic and add it to the pan. Once fragrant, crumble in the ground beef. Stir frequently and add thyme, pepper, and salt.
    4.
    Dice the mushrooms and add them to the pan once the beef is nearly browned. Stir occasionally until the meat is fully browned.
    5.
    Add the spaghetti squash to the pan and mix well with the beef mixture.
    6.
    Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Mix together the egg, egg yolk, coconut milk, and coconut flour, then pour into the pan. Mix well to combine everything.
    7.
    Grease a small pan and pour the mixture into the pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly and press it down.
    8.
    Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until the top begins to brown. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
