Twice Baked Squash Casserole

So bummed. My hubby used some of his overtime money to buy me a new camera. We have tried all day, but can't seem to get this thing to take a decent picture. It won't focus properly. We had trouble with the lighting option. (too many choices if you ask me) Now the batteries are run down and I cannot get a photo of tonight's dinner. We even had to reformat the memory card, so I can't use it with the old camera either. So instead of giving a glimpse of the Tac-ole cups Multiply Meal from tonight, I will post one of the casseroles I made last week for you to see.

This is a completely delicious casserole. Because I am feeding only three right now, I made a small version with only half a spaghetti squash. It will easily double to use a whole squash, and this would be an excellent addition to holiday meals.

This dish is a bit like the hashbrown casseroles we have at family gatherings. I have to force myself to keep from eating the entire dish. I have made it with sour cream as well. To make it even prettier for holidays, you can add some diced green onion. The original dish was a Baked potato casserole I ate at a church potluck. The bacon bits and green onion were arranged in stripes on top of the dish. Very pretty, but the onions have to be added just a few minutes before the dish is completed, or the color is not so nice.

I am eating some delicious Tac-ole Cups as I type. I have one more batch to go into the oven, then I will be stocked up on these delicious treats. So handy to have in the freezer for busy days. Hopefully, my camera will work tomorrow. I think John plans to head back to the store to exchange it. I thought new technology was supposed to make things easier.
