Spaghetti Squash Boats


From the Kitchen of:  Boomer
Source:  Taste of Home

Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1/2". Bake, uncovered, at 375degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating strands with a fork; set shells and squash aside. In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef, onion and green pepper until meat is browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Add mushrooms, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add squash; mix well. Cook, uncovered, until liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
