Notes
It made preparation very efficient baking/steaming the spaghetti squash the night before or that morning. That way I could let it cool and not be waiting around. Ask anyone I am not naturally patient... I like ripe bananas not green {wink}, If not using cheese you will need to adjust your spices adding a few dashes salt and pepper. You can make this dish vegan by omitting the meat {cheese & sour cream} and adding hemp seeds. We are not a fan of beans because they are hard to digest. Please use organic when you can especially the frozen corn.
