Recipe Steps

Step One

The first step for this healthy casserole is to cook a medium sized spaghetti squash. My favorite method for this is to pop it in an Instant Pot pressure cooker at 15 minutes at high pressure. You can also make Crockpot Spaghetti Squash, or cut it in half and cook it in the oven.

No matter what method you use to cook your squash, you should end up with about 5 cups of cooked squash that is shredded and ready to use in the casserole.

Step Two

Preheat your oven to 400°F and spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, and garlic. Then, add the tomatoes, squash, and eggs, and then transfer the mixture to your baking dish.

Step Three

Top the casserole with your pepperoni and olives, and bake it for 30 minutes. If you aren’t dairy-free, you can certainly add cheese to the top as well for an even more authentic pizza experience. Or, you can use vegan cheese too.

You can also add your favorite pizza toppings, such as mushrooms, pineapple, or whatever you prefer. Feel free to get creative!

Step Four

Once the casserole has baked through, it will start to turn a golden brown on top. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
