How to Make Spaghetti Squash in a Slow Cooker

Cris here.

We love mac and cheese around here! And we love spaghetti squash… and how easy it is to make spaghetti squash in the slow cooker! So I got to thinking that it might be fun to make a spaghetti squash and cheese recipe. So I took one of our most popular mac and cheese recipes and altered it. The results are a cheese lover’s dream! Note: This is an extremely cheesy side dish, so if you do not want it as cheesy, you may want to reduce the cheese you add at the end.
