I microwaved my spaghetti squash. Cut in half. Discard seeds. Add 1/4C water to a ovenproof casserole dish. Cover w/ Saran Wrap. Cook for 7-10 minutes on high. Also, I added 2-10 oz. cans of tomatoes with diced chili's & 1-10 oz. can of chili beans with sauce in addition to 1-10 oz. can of blk beans - 6/29/16

This was very good. I added chili powder and smoked paprika to suit our taste. This recipe is one you can add anything that you like. - 3/30/16
